As most of you know, I have spent this last year focusing on living a healthier life. I am learning how to prioritize exercise in my busy schedule, remove products with toxic ingredients, reduce stressors and make better food choices. It seems like everyone has a different opinion on what is a “healthy” product and what is “bad for you”. Navigating through the information is a lot of work, but the infinite health rewards make it worth my time!

I recently discovered a food source that is high in protein, fiber, iron, omega, magnesium, phosphorus and other vitamins and minerals. It is vegetarian and easy to digest. What is this amazing food you ask…its Hemp!

For my review, Manitoba Harvest sent me Hemp Hearts and Vanilla Hemp Protein Drink Mix.

Hemp Hearts are raw shelled hemp seeds. They taste a bit like a sunflower or sesame seed. Each serving of Hemp Hearts contains 10g of protein and 10 of Omegas.  These are higher levels than found in Flax and Chia seeds. Hemp Hearts are a great addition to salads, cereal or yogurt. They can also be enjoyed straight from the bag.

Hemp Protein Drink Mix contains 9g protein and 11g fiber. It is a raw/whole food and is certified organic. The vanilla flavor is natural and organic. I will have to admit, I had to adjust to the Hemp Protein Drink Mix texture.  It’s like nothing I have ever tried. The flavor is unique and provides a nice foundation for adding fresh fruits into your drink.

I enjoyed my Manitoba Harvest products. I think they are a delicious and healthy option.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
