High Fiber Overnight Hemp Hearts

What the HECK is a hemp heart? We found ourselves asking this very question after seeing this ingredient online, and figured it was a distinct possibility that other people were asking this same question. We also felt like creating an “overnight oat” recipe without the oats, for those watching their carb intake. These two thoughts combined allowed us to create this unique recipe, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!

For this recipe, our key ingredient is: Hemp Hearts

Here’s why we care about this recipe:

Hemp Hearts are a complete protein, which means they contain all essential amino acids your body needs. This is especially unique for a natural plant protein, since this is usually what protein powders boast, without the artificial ingredients.
As this recipe name suggests, they also have fiber to help keep you full and keep things moving. If you ingest two tablespoons of hemp hearts, you can expect 2 grams of fiber.
Hemp hearts are naturally high in magnesium, which has a calming effect on the body. This will ensure you feel more relaxed, sleep soundly, and fight depression.
Because hemp hearts are a blend of carbs and protein, hemp hearts have been shown to impact energy levels. They can boost a person’s energy levels naturally, as you would expect with caffeine and sugar.
