12. Serve over pasta/raw zucchini noodles/anything you’d like!

*The fam had it over whole grain pasta with a side of roasted broc.
(sprayed with coconut oil spray & roasted for 25-30 minutes at 350)

I had mine over black bean spaghetti that I found at a local health food store!

Sprinkled each dish with about 2 tsp of Hemp Seeds for
some extra protein/healthy fat power!

Remember how I said leftover’s for 3 days?

The proof is in the not-so-professional pictures;
one day I will have a nice camera like everyone else
so you can see every nook & cranny of my food

*Served over leftover black bean pasta,
roasted veggies, tomatoes, & kalamata olives
with a sprinkle of Sea Kelp Seasoning!

*Black bean spaghetti, alfredo, olives, roasted veg.

*black bean spaghetti, olives, raw mushrooms, side of nori sheets,

Did you know that …
Hemp contains high levels of the recommended 3:1 ratio
of essential omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids?

which have been shown to reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease, stroke, osteoporosis and diabetes.

Hemp seeds are also very protein-rich!
