HEMP HEARTS
I am going to start off by talking about the package I received. Hemp Hearts really put some effort into eye appeal on this one. It was a fun package and caught my eye immediately. That may be a small detail, however, it is something that makes them stand out!
#HempHearts for the win!
I love that it also has facts about the product right on the package!
Inside the package was the product sample and then an information sheet. The package doesn't seem that big, but the little hemp hearts aren't very big. I had no idea really what to expect, because I knew nothing about them before I got this opportunity!
What is hemp hearts?
Good question. According to their website it is a "super plant".
1 serving has 10 g of protein, 10g of omega's, and 3g of carbs.
That puts them with more protein and omega's per serving than flax and chia seeds.

Now on to my thoughts. They don't really have a flavor, at least I don't think they do. I put them in a smoothie a couple times, and also mixed them in with a greek yogurt. It was great both ways. Added protein and it didn't change the flavor. I think I will be making them a regular addition to my smoothies. I also hear they are good in salads, but I have not tried it yet. I will have to do that!
Here is a few pictures of my "recipes"!
I put them in a pumpkin chobani, and a cucumber and chocolate protein smoothie!
That added protein is always a great bonus in my book!
My overall review is a huge thumbs up. This is a product that I will continue to use. I am so glad that I was able to try it out first, and I was not disappointed at all! This is a great company, and one I fully intend to support!!
