Hemp heart seeds review for @manitobaharvest #hemphearts #sweatpink

I was sent a complimentary bag of Hemp Hearts for blog and social media review, because of my ambassadorship with #sweatpink. All opinions are my own.

At the ‘heart’ of all our hemp foods is the Hemp Heart (aka raw shelled hemp seed).

• Great tasting - Hemp Hearts have a slightly nutty taste, similar to a sunflower seed or pine nut.
• Easy to use - Simply sprinkle Hemp Hearts on salad, cereal & yogurt, add to smoothies and recipes, or eat them straight from the package!
• Nutritious - per 30 gram serving, Hemp Hearts contain 10 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of Omegas.
• Hemp Hearts have more protein and omegas and less carbs than the same serving of chia or flax.

I tried the hemp seeds in my morning fruit protein smoothie, as well as in my salad.

This was the first time I had tried them and they weren't bad. You can't really taste them. I don't particularly care for the texture though-its like eating little seeds in my drink. Which I don't like eating things with tiny seeds, so it wasn't really something for me.

I would like to try this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie next though to see if I like the texture better.

My husband really liked them so he will probably be the one using them until the bag runs out.

Have you ever tried Hemp seeds before?
