Oats are renowned for their nutritional value. They offer various health benefits, including weight management, blood sugar control, and the potential to lower the risk of heart disease.
Rich in fiber, carbs, vitamins, and minerals, oats deliver a well-rounded nutrient profile. Just half a cup of oats provides 51 grams of carbs, 13 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, 8 grams of fiber, all within 303 calories. With their high antioxidant content, oats can help lower cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar, and keep you feeling satisfied for longer periods.
Hemp, on the other hand, is a source of plant-based protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. One ounce of hemp seeds contains nine grams of protein, twelve grams of fat, and two grams of fiber. Hemp seeds boast all twenty amino acids, including the nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce naturally.
Integrating hemp into your diet is simple with hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds) and hemp oil. Sprinkling hemp hearts onto food and into smoothies is a popular choice, and combining hemp hearts with chia and flax seeds offers a trifecta of plant-based nutrition.
The inclusion of CBD adds another layer of health benefits, particularly anti-inflammatory properties and a calming effect on the body. Whether in oil or tincture form, CBD can easily be mixed into your meals or beverages for a nourishing boost.
