15 Ways to Enjoy Hemp Seeds


Hemp Hearts raw shelled hemp seedsLately there’s been a lot of buzz about raw, shelled hemp seeds, and their health benefits and cool culinary uses.
Hemp has an incredible nutritional profile (omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, iron, magnesium, 11 grams of protein…)  that can help people fill holes in their diet.  But, how to eat them?  Here are 15 easy ways to get down with hemp seeds. 
On top of salads, or in my vinaigrettes. In chia seed spread for sandwiches. Smoothies.
Great to add to anything. On top of avocado. Veggies. Easy to make hemp milk too.
With pasta sauce! They add nuttiness to the dish. 
On top of brown rice. 
- Add to yogurt! Keep in fridge.
Add it to cauliflower for mock mashed potato. Salad dressing with garlic, olive oil, lemon, honey. Add to oatmeal in the morning. Or to homemade granola!
- For an easy lunch, I sprinkle extra virgin olive oil over greens and top with hemp hearts. 
- Use them in my chia seed pudding. Super power, delicious!
- Sprinkle on protein pancakes just before flipping to the second side.
- Add them to quinoa flakes, I also sprinkle on almond or coconut yogurt for a yummy and nutritious snack.
- Great in a kale salad, dressed with extra-virgin olive oil/lemon.
