"They are a complete protein. Hemp hearts also contain the essential fatty acids omega 6 and omega 3. In addition, hemp hearts are a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. They are also packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E, as well as the minerals calcium and iron. Hemp seeds contain 25 percent protein, 35 percent fatty acids and 27 percent carbohydrates (primarily fiber)." ` from Livestrong.com
Hippie Butter Hemp protein powder is another addition I enjoy. It is not as processed as many other protein powders.
One of last week's smoothies, was banana, apple, pear and greens. So refreshing!
I tried hemp in my smoothies...I know how good it is for you but I could not stand the taste!! I like flax and chia but I'll pass on the hemp!
ReplyDeleteYa man, but does it give you the munchies? Seriously, I will look for this in my natural foods store. I love my new NutriBullett. Looks like you do too.
ReplyDeleteLOL, No munchies and you could still pass a drug test if you needed to.:)
DeleteLove the name of it though! Still lots of hippies left in Maine.
DeleteI do the hemp seeds and have tried the protein, but just can't get past the taste. Maybe I need the Hippie version! LOL
ReplyDeleteHemp. Just the idea makes me sneeze. I wonder how it tastes. I'll look at the health food store
