Oh had a thought- hemp hearts. You can make them like no cook oatmeal or instead of like rice pilaf. Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts Raw Shelled Hemp Seeds, 1lb; with 10g Protein & Omegas per Serving, Non-GMO, Gluten Free - Packaging May Vary https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00856TSCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TxdpCbGFRMYYJ
They're good too.
Yeah I just read about it. I think it’s great and the calorie to dollar ratio isn’t that bad.
If you buy this hemp seed heart on amazon Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts Raw Shelled Hemp Seeds, Natural, 1 Pound https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00856TSCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kw-EAbFYM47A2
Then you’re only really paying about a dollar for 270 calories.
If you buy a 18oz bottle of olive oil for $7, then for every dollar you get around 550 calories (110calories/tbsp).
So in other words it’s twice as expensive as olive oil, but you get a bunch of protein too.
Kraut juice would totally be good for electrolytes, it's basically all salt water with minerals. I'm thinking I might try making a batch myself, it doesn't look tough at all.
Yes hemp hearts! They are no net carb, high protein and this delish nutty flavor. I dump 3Tsp (a serving) on my salads. Just as good or better then nuts. Or sometimes just a little handful on my way out the door.
(Yep, I'm good on Vit D. My doc tests it for fertility reasons and I've supplemented for years. It does make a difference for sure)
I use to get constipated every time I tried to drink shakes on a regular basis, hemp hearts have completely eliminated the problem. They're one of the most treasured foods in my diet and they're full of nutrients. I eat 6 tablespoons a day, 3 in applesauce and 3 in a shake.
I bought a bag recently through Amazon to try them. They weren't cheap. Might be cheaper if you can find them locally. http://smile.amazon.com/Manitoba-Harvest-Hearts-Shelled-natural/dp/B00856TSCC
As for taste and texture, they have a very mild nutty taste and are soft. Will probably be a little mushy in your mixture, but I think it would work. I actually used them to make rum balls. lol
It might be kind of fun to start shipping hemp products to our lawmakers. As an example, Costco has sold this product in the Treasure Valley for nearly three years:
I've been obsessed with hemp hearts lately! I make a pseudo overnight oats bowl (called "noatmeal" in this world) with hemp hearts, chia seeds, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and protein powder. You could add heavy cream, coconut flakes, Lily's chocolate chips, peanut butter, etc. Keto Connect has a lot of different flavor combinations! I bought my hemp hearts from Trader Joe's but found a cheaper brand on Amazon.
