These little seeds are a nutrition gold mine! They are packed full of protein and Omega 3s and thanks to their nutty taste, they taste delicious sprinkled on just about anything. I was initially going to go the plain jane route and sprinkle these over my morning oatmeal...but if you've been a long time reader of The Fit Chocoholic, you'll know that I love protein smoothies. So, I fancied up my usual go to smoothie and made a High Protein Berry Banana Breakfast Smoothie (quite a mouthful huh?!).
I mixed them into the smoothie itself and I also sprinkled some on top...because come on, who doesn't love a little garnish?!

- 1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder

- 1 tbsp Manitoba Hemp Hearts
