While this very simple recipe packs a punch of protein for our GHS vegetarian & vegan clients, anyone can greatly benefit from it on the GHS weight loss plan. Most vegetarians are familiar with the ingredients in this recipe, but they are a fantastic nutrition source for anyone. Hemp seeds/hearts do not contain cannabinoids, which are found in cannabis. They have an earthy/nutty flavor and are a perfect/complete protein source. Flaxseeds are a great source of fiber and are high in omega-3’s and antioxidants; and Chia seeds, a very popular superfood, are a powerful blend of fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and micronutrients.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup hemp hearts (also called seeds)
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed/flaxmeal (golden or regular)
- 1 tsp Chia seeds
- 2 Tbsp shredded coconut
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
- 1 tsp almond butter (if you have it)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Stevia drops to desired sweetness
Serving ideas:
- 1-2 tsp Lakanto maple syrup or maple extract to taste
- 1 cup berries – can eat whole on top or mixed in. Also, tasty to mash or puree the berries and mix it throughout the recipe after cooking.
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small saucepan, stir together the hemp hearts, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, coconut and cinnamon.
- Whisk in the almond milk, vanilla and almond butter. If using maple extract instead of Lakanto maple syrup, add it here.
- Bring saucepan to a low boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until it begins to thicken. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes, or to desired texture. The longer it cooks, the more liquid will evaporate.
- Transfer to a bowl and let sit 2-3 minutes, then add any toppings. If you decide you want it less thick, just add a bit more unsweetened coconut milk.
