Getting protein in my diet is a struggle. Don’t get me wrong; I love my meat. But I don’t eat a lot of it and I am not a huge fan of meat alternatives. So when I came across the opportunity to try Manitoba Hemp Hearts, I jumped at it.
There are a few things that pulled me towards Hemp Hearts. First, it is a Canadian product. The hemp seeds are grown in Canada and products are manufactured in a hemp-only facility in Manitoba. Before I even tried them, I knew that I was heading into a romance between Hemp Hearts and this former-Manitoba girl. I also love that they are packed with protein: 10 grams of protein and another 10 grams of omegas in a 30 gram serving. Lastly, it’s an easy protein fix. There are lots of recipes that use Hemp Hearts that I can try but, for me, nutrition has to be easy. 
I love that I can just open the bag and sprinkle them on my salads, pasta (my favorite way to eat these) and even hard boiled eggs. I wish that I had found these last winter when my running accident meant that I had to spend a month living off smoothies. Hemp Hearts add a delicious sesame taste to my food. Yum! Check out their website for other great nutrition ideas.
Other great things about Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts is they are vegan-friendly and they are non-GMO certified.
Often, when I come across great looking products on the web, I end up being disappointed because they are hard to find in stores. This is not the case with Manitoba Harvest; there are oodles of local stores which carry Hemp Hearts and other yummy hemp products. I know that I’ll be heading out soon to pick up some of their Hemp Heart Bites for my mid-afternoon snack at school or Hemp Heart Bars for my son with the teenage bottomless pit. 
You should try some too. Use the promo code HHSP1015 for a 20% discount off the entire web store at Manitoba Harvest. (expires December 31, 2015)
Yum! I love Hemp Hearts, I am right there with you girl, I’m not a vegan but I do try to limit animal products. Hemp hearts are so awesome! I like to have them on my salads for a nice addition of texture. I have never tried them on pasta, I will have to give that a go. I also love that they have the perfect ratio of omega 3 to omega 6, I think it’s the only food that does!?
The more I eat them, the more I am liking them. Let me know what you think of the pasta with them.
I’ve never tried hemp, but I am definitely intrigued. Thanks for discount code!
I had no idea they had so much protein in them. Now I’m totally tempted to try these out! Thanks so much for sharing your review!
It was a great find! Give into temptation!
I have been hearing some fabulous things about the hemp hearts! They look fantastic – thanks for sharing your review!!
So yummy! I tried to find some of the Hemp bars tonight and failed. Now I’m on a mission to try those too!
