Healthy, Hearty Snack That You’ll Love!! – Try It!

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.
