Mmmm! Several years ago a friend introduced me to a REALLY, REALLY good health bar. I’ll never forget how satisfying that was and how healthy it felt!
The basic ingredients it contained were chocolate and hemp hearts.
Hemp hearts were a new food to me.
These little, power-packed morsels of goodness help meet nutritious needs in many ways:
- They are satisfying!
- They have a great flavor – and nice texture: somewhat like a cross between a nut and a delicious pasta meal/ homemade bread roll.
- They contain many nutrients, including potassium, magnesium, omega 3s, and protein.
- In addition, they are LOW sugar!!
Where to find:
Hemp hearts are showing up in many places. Here are a few suggestions:
Local organic grocery store
Online – Vitacost or other health food distributors
I am currently enjoying Bob’s Red Mill brand. This bag is very fresh and has a nice, satisfying taste.
