Let’s chat about where Hemp seeds come from.

Manitoba Harvest states that ‘Food, clothing, rope, paper, building materials, animal bedding/herd, plastic, paint, fuel – the list of hemp applications goes go on and on. We like to call hemp the “green buffalo” as every part of the plant can be used. Hemp that is grown in Western Canada is primarily used for hemp foods. At the top part of the hemp plant you will find the hard hemp seed. This small seed “seeds” nutritiously delicious products like Hemp Hearts, hemp protein powder, and hemp oil.

Hemp Seeds have:

  • All 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential amino acids (EAAs) our bodies cannot produce.
  • A high protein percentage of the simple proteins that strengthen immunity and fend off toxins.
  • High source of essential fatty acid, with more essential fatty acid than flax or any other nut or seed oil.
  • A perfect 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 Linoleic Acid and Omega-3 Linolenic Acid – for cardiovascular health and general strengthening of the immune system.

How do I use them? I love to sprinkle them on salads, oatmeal, or mix into dips as well as blending into smoothies!

Guys, they make smoothies so smooooth & creamy- it’s unreal.

  • 1/2 Cup (or so) of fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 handful of raw spinach
  • 2 BIG spoonfuls of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts!(10g of protein in 3 tablespoons!) hiyo!

How To:

  1. Add all ingredients into a blender & blend!
  2. Add more liquid if you want it to be a thinner consistency but I personally like to eat mine in a bowl.
  3. Top with any toppings you like for some texture & crunch!

I hope you take advantage of the free samples next week for your friends & they return the favor!

Have a great Thursday & be true to you,
