I recently discovered a new raw vegan hemp product by Narcotic Nutrition and have loved using it in my recipes. As I am constantly on the go between clients, yoga and training, this product easily helps me to increase the protein in my diet.
The first time I knew that I had to help people create delicious protein-enhanced meals was when I saw a gym enthusiast sprinkle vanilla protein powder on the top of his 300g Angus steak. Awful. I couldn’t bare the idea of another person not understanding that with the right touch you can enhance a meal with nutrients without destroying the taste!
Raw vegan hemp by Narcotic Nutrition is a great addition to my pantry. It has easily enabled me to increase protein in my diet.

I've put together a Hemp protein bar recipe for you all.

These hemp bars are not only nutrient-dense, but are packed with protein and super tasty.
They are naturally sweet with a tantalizing savory taste. Enjoy them straight after a workout or an anytime of the day snack.

Step 2

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, along with rolled oats and sesame seeds and then mix together until combined.
Evenly spread the batter into a 28 x 18 cm baking dish, making sure it is compact.
Lastly, grab a small handful of pumpkin seeds and pat them down onto the batter - a decorative touch!
