Bring the salsa, hemp tortilla chips!

Hemp Tortilla Chips by Trader Joes

Healthy tortilla chips? Say it isn't so! Well, hemp makes these tortilla chips a great, healthy snack. While these hemp tortilla chips go well with salsa, I almost prefer them more as a cracker substitute. In fact, they go great with hummus!

Kudos to Trader Joes for supporting hemp products!

Hemp Plus Granola by Nature's Path

Hemp Plus Granola by Nature's Path

I love Hemp Plus Granola by Nature's Path, and I eat it regularly. It's a great snack, but I love mixing it with a handful of nuts and berries and covering it with soy milk - it doesn't get much healthier than that.

Since I don't eat much meat, hemp is a great way to get protein in my diet. The hemp seeds in hemp plus can contain up to 35 percent protein, in addition to all nine essential amino acids. Plus, hemp is high in omega-3 fatty acids and a bunch of minerals, phytosterols and phospholipids.

Try some Hemp Plus Granola today.
