Warming hemp seed porridge
Hemp seeds are super healthy. They’re high in protein, essential Omega 3 and 6 fats, prebiotic fibre to feed your good gut bacteria and GLA (an important building block for some prostaglandins or hormone-like chemicals that help control inflammation).
They’re also low in carbohydrates, suppress your appetite and are good for your hair skin and nails. When added to flax and chia seeds, this breakfast should keep you going all day. It’s keto, paleo, lo-carb, vegetarian and vegan. Enjoy.
