Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts Review

Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

Have you heard of Hemp Hearts? They are raw shelled hemp seeds.

I've got to come clean here, and say that I had never heard of them. But I was given the opportunity through #SweatPink to sample a bag from Manitoba Harvest.

And at first I really expected them to well.. taste bad. I mean they weren't that much to look at.

But, well, they really tasted good. They have a little bit of a nutty flavor.

My first time using them I just put them in a smoothie powder (that you just shake up). Well, let's say that I was swallowing the Hemp Hearts whole. So I wouldn't suggest just putting them in plain powder and shaking them unless you like texture (which I don't).

Instead, I just enjoyed eating them... yes.. as in just eating some for a snack. This entire package is 330 calories with 18 grams of protein. Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts also contain 'healthy' fats.

Obviously I didn't eat the entire package in one sitting, but I did enjoy snacking on them here and there. And the Hemp Hearts would be great sprinkled on a salad. If you will also notice they are low in sugar (which is my current goal of My 30 Day Food Challenge)

Overall my thoughts? I like them. I like the taste, and I like all of the nutrients that they contain.
