We all need protein to build strong muscles and support the body’s health. The body actually burns more calories digesting protein than digesting carbohydrates. How can we get healthy protein without a total reliance on animal products? One food we can add to our diet is hemp seeds. No they won’t get you high but they will provide you (in a ¼ cup serving) with about 11g protein plus 2000mg of omega 3 and they contain all the essential amino acids. And further eating hemp seeds help to reduce the carbon footprint. Sprinkle them on a salad, over cereal and yogurt or eat on its own as a wholesome snack.
