Wheatsfield — Hemp seeds pack protein, healthy fats, vitamin E and minerals like magnesium and zinc into their little shells. In addition, hemp seeds contain all nine essential amino acids. These little nutritious gems easily incorporate into your diet. Just add a scoop here or tablespoon there.
1. Use hemp seeds in place of pine nuts in pesto. This adds over 3 additional grams of protein per 1/4 cup.
2. Add a scoop on top of salads or mix it in with salad dressings.
3. Add a tablespoon to your smoothies. You can add as you blend for a creamy texture or as a healthy garnish.
4. Add hemp seeds to any homemade protein bar, muffin, bread or baked good recipe. Or replace hemp seeds for equal proportions of a seed the recipe calls for.
5. Add a scoop to granola or cereal or cook with oats.
6. Make a quick hemp nut butter blend. Blend with almonds or another nut, add honey and spread on toast.
7. Mix a tablespoon with an avocado and spread on toast.
8. Add to bean or turkey burgers while you are creating the patties.
9. Add a tablespoon or two to yogurt for a protein-filled breakfast.
10. Make your own hemp milk. Blend and then strain through cheesecloth or nut milk bag the following ingredients:
- 1 c hemp seeds
- 3-4 c water
- sea salt to taste
- sweetener of choice (2 dates, 1-3 tsp of honey or maple syrup, stevia)
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
