Hemp Seeds

Have you tried Hemp Seeds?  I had a groupon to my health store and thought I would give them a try.  They are not inexpensive but great for you.  Look at all the benefits!  I like them on salad, oatmeal and in shakes!






Benefits from once site include:


Hemp seeds are an incredible vegan source of biologically available and easily digested protein. For those who are allergic to soy, hemp seeds are a great vegan alternative. Hemp seeds contain all 10 essential amino acids. And did you know 3 Tablespoons of Hemp Seeds = 11 grams of protein?


Orange-Banana Hemp Smoothie

  • 1 frozen banana, chopped
  • 1 whole orange, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons hemp seeds (such as Organic Nutiva brand)

  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Dash of pure almond extract
1. Place all ingredients in a high speed blender. Process until smooth and creamy. Enjoy!
