Hemp Milk Nutrition & A Hemp Milk Recipe

My favourite milk-alternative, and definitely one of the easiest to make at home! This homemade hemp milk recipe is as simple as adding hemp hearts to water, blending, and then done! I have compiled a few of my top hemp milk nutrition facts, and tips and tricks to make the perfect glass of homemade hemp milk at home.

If you haven’t already heard, the new Canadian Food Guide draft is out and it’s down one food group – dairy. With more and more people becoming environmentally conscious, dairy has taken a back seat. There is a growing number of milk alternatives available – rice, almond, buckwheat, quinoa, pea, soy – though each pre-packaged milk alternative comes with its pros and cons. We have seen hemp hearts back on the Canadian market since 1998 and if you haven’t considered hemp milk yet now is the time! This homemade Hemp Milk Recipe is packed full of protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids. Bonus points for simplicity – no straining required.

3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes

By 3 Comments

These 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes are seriously the BEST and tastes so delicious that nobody will notice they are flour-free. I love making these banana egg oat pancakes for breakfast or having them a healthy snack. Try them smothered in peanut butter for a high protein power breakfast.

These simple 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes are not only a new staple in our house, but they are also a go-to for my cooking groups at work. Everyone loves three-ingredient recipes (like these Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies) because sometimes we just don’t have time to mess around with finicky recipes. Another thing I love about this recipe is that it makes a great base for creativity. Try adding raw cacao with spinach, or frozen blueberries and chia. I know you will love these 3 ingredient banana pancakes as much as we do!

High Protein Zucchini Lasagna with Cottage Cheese

By 6 Comments

I came up with this recipe with my roommate at the time was experimenting with cutting out lentils. With no members of the legume family in our diets, vegetarian sources of protein were limited. We had more than our fair share of Summer Tofu Salad Bowl and Vegetable Packed Crustless Quiche with Feta but there are only so many egg and tofu dishes you can stomach in a week. So I turned to protein-rich cottage cheese to help square out our vegetarian dinners. Using our high supply of zucchini from our weekly veggie box and my motivation to get some protein versatility into our diets, I came up with this High Protein Zucchini Lasagna with Cottage Cheese. Not only is this vegetarian dish high in protein, it is also great for those looking for a low carbohydrate meal and I have told that it complies with those that are following a keto vegetarian diet, or paleo vegetarian diet. And the best part is… it’s easy!
