8 Ways to Add Hemp Seeds Into Your Diet
By The Stoner's Cookbook
Packed full of nutritional benefits, increasing your hemp seed consumption may just be one of the best things you can do for your diet. Here's 8 ways to get you started on that path.
1. Munch On Them as a Snack
By The Stoner's Cookbook
When mixed with a little bit of sea salt or even just consumed plain, hemp seeds make for an easy snack food to munch on when cravings hit.
2. Use Them as Sprinkles on Desserts
By The Stoner's Cookbook
Sub out the same old sprinkles when garnishing your desserts, and add a spoonful of hemp seeds instead. They'll still bring the crunch factor but are actually good for you too.
3. Top Off a Meal with a Handful
By The Stoner's Cookbook
Whether it's rice or pasta, it's so easy to add a handful of hemp seeds on top of any ready meal. This will immediately increase the nutritional value of your meal without costing you extra time.
4. Substitute or Complement Nuts in Baked Goods
By The Stoner's Cookbook
Nuts are a favourite addition when baking, but hemp seeds can provide the same level of satisfaction. Add them into your batters, or coat your finished goods with them raw—the options are endless.
5. Use Hemp Oil in Vinaigrettes & Dips
By The Stoner's Cookbook
Instead of using olive oil for your next salad vinaigrette or dip, opt for hemp oil instead. As hemp oil is prone to instability when warmed, avoid cooking with it and stick to cold preparations.
6. Turn Them Into Hemp Milk
By The Stoner's Cookbook
Just blend with water to create hemp milk—the preparation is the same as any nut-to-milk recipe.
7. Blend Them in a Smoothie

Blend them into your next smoothie for an additional energy boost.
