Denisemomof4 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I am going to buy dd12 chia seeds as they will help to keep her body hydrated. As a DELICIOUS dessert I mix 2 tbsp with coconut milk and cinnamon stevia. TO DIE FOR. And SOOOOO incredibly healthy. I am also going to buy raw cacao powder and chocolate stevia to mix things up a bit. When I was reading about chia seeds I came across an article about hemp seeds. I never tried them. I know NOTHING about them. I read that they are a complete protein and have more digestible protein than milk, eggs, cheese, meat, fish! Dd had a protein deficiency so I plan to add these to our diets. Please share what you know/like about them and how you eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyLady Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I add them to smoothies and on nutbutter sandwiches. I've also topped salads with them. You can also make hemp milk with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixeldog Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I've added them to smoothies and put them on granola. Haven't noticed a flavor per se, just added for the nutrition. They're expensive so I don't use them often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in AZ Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I've tried coating a banana in them to help lower the glycemic punch for my diabetic daughter. She wasn't a big fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will use them the same way as I use flax seeds. i will grind them and toss them in home made salad dressings, smoothies, etc. I am going to make sure she gets some in regularly and will have to experiment.

Spy Car Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I love the taste of hemp seeds. We got our last batch (believe it or not) at the bird store. Same quality at a fraction of the price. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I like eating a spoonful of them in the morning just plain. I'm not much of a breakfast person and they give me the extra that I need without me having to eat much in the morning. My kids like them on their oatmeal and I have added them to smoothies before. My one son likes them sprinkled into his PB&J sandwiches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill I'm going to try that!! I was just at my co-op and saw a bag that looked to be about a cup and a half for $6 and change. Thanks!

Stacia Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I usually mix hemp seeds in w/ oatmeal or yogurt (along w/ chia seeds, fresh berries, & a handful of other nuts or seeds that I have on hand).... I also like them plain or sprinkled on salads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If you're gonna do hemp seeds, you need to grind them fresh, so they'll be used by your body :) Just a reminder.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
