I am beginning to see a bit of a pattern on my blog… hemp ERRYTHANG….and for good reason!
Hemp is a powerhouse of nutrition, whether your having the seeds, oil, flour or protein powder all come with their own benefits!
I am not going to go on and on about it, because I have already done so in previous posts, but trust me, HEMP IS DA BOMB.
These bars not only contain hemp, they also have maca powder, chia seeds, raw cacao powder ( & butter!) and of course trusty almonds! So you are getting a serious bang for your buck when you devour one of these babies and your energy levels will be soaring all afternoon! It is important to ensure your snacks are well balanced meaning they contain protein, fats and carbohydrates as this will mean they keep you fuller for longer!
