Is it holiday cookie season yet?! I feel like it can always be holiday cookie season. Thanksgiving party coming up? Bring some cookies! Work party? Bring some cookies? Friday movie night? Bake some cookies! See! It’s always time for cookies!
And with all the cookies ahead of us during the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to add some nutrients to them! If you haven’t tried Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts (aka shelled hemp seeds) yet, they versatile seeds that have two times more protein, 70% more iron and 25% more omegas-3 and 6 than flax seeds! And they are lower in carbohydrates than both chia and flax seeds. Hemp is a super plant and Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts use that super plant to add a rich nutty taste to any meal. But they don’t just add a delicious flavor to cookies…you can put them on top of yogurt, add texture to baked goods or blend into other recipes. I use hemp hearts on top of my Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl for extra protein and nutrients and I’ll top off my open faced salmon and prosciutto sandwiches for more texture and flavor!
Hemp hearts also offer a sustainable farming solution! The varieties of hemp that are grown for food purposes reach a height of about five feet. Once hemp starts to grow, it has a broad leaf that helps to naturally suppress weeds which means that no pesticides or herbicides are needed to successfully grow hemp. How cool is that? Manitoba Harvest hemp foods pack a nutritional punch with their hemp products being high in protein and healthy fats.
And right now, Manitoba Harvest wants to give away a special prize pack so you can try out their products and add more nutrients to all of your dishes! All you have to do is comment below telling me how you have or how you would use Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts to add flavor and texture to your meals. My favorite way is definitely on top of smoothies or smoothie bowls for extra protein! And if you’re still not sure how to use them, you can click here to see a ton of different recipes on their site! Then be sure to leave your comment below because a winner will be chosen to win this Manitoba Harvest prize pack! I will contact the winner through the email provided when leaving the comment!

Like them in smoothies! Can’t wait to try these cookies ????
I use hemp hearts on crunchy beet and cucumber salads because they match the texture. They also taste good on top of alfredo sauce and pasta!
Thanks for the recipe and giveaway.
I would like to try the Pumpkin Pie Energy Bites. Sounds quite delicious, and a perfect snack.
I pretty much add them to everything! Yogurt, smoothies, oatmeal, Granola, muffins/breads, on top of salads, rice and pasta dishes. I even love to process them into hemp butter or add them to my other homemade nut butter!
This sounds delicious! I would love to try the hemp hearts on my morning smoothie bowl and of course in this cookie recipe!
I would try them on salad and in the muffins and cookies I bake for girls snacks for school.
These look amazing. I have been craving sweets this season but don’t so sugar. This recipe looks perfect. I love hemp hearts in my smoothies but I’ve never baked with them…
I always add hemp hearts to my oatmeal to get in some good protein.
On top of my rice cake and almond butter!
I add them into all my baking especially on top of muffins or loaves to give it a little extra crunch!
