Simple Snacking: Giveaway Contest and Hemp Heart Bar Review

To keep my body balanced and fueled for my active lifestyle, I rely on plant-based protein, healthy fats and real-food carbohydrates like those found in the Manitoba Harvest hemp heart bar. I like to include enough protein in my snacks to stabilize blood sugar, crush cravings and boost energy and appreciate the satiety boost that healthy fats provide. 

Navigating a healthy diet while avoiding the many allergens to which I am sensitive, limits my ready-to-go options. Fortunately, there are some great plant-based whole foods that are portable, energy-packed and easy-to-digest like Manitoba Harvest’s hemp heart bar. When I want a quick and portable snack option that I can stash in my hiking pack or pop in my purse, I love a healthy plant-based bar with minimal ingredients .

I was thrilled to find Manitoba Hemp Heart Bars! Made simply with hemp hearts and lightly sweetened with organic coconut palm sugar and organic brown rice syrup, these bars fit my allergy-friendly, protein-packed snacking needs! The basic bar travels well without crumbling or melting.

They come in three yummy flavors: vanilla, chocolate and apple cinnamon.  For me, the flavors were subtle and not overly sweet. 

Not only are these real-food-based bars gluten-free, peanut-free, treenut-free, dairy-free, soy-free, corn-free and egg-free, but each 45 gram bar contains 10 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of omega fatty acids, to satisfy hunger and fuel your day!

Because they are based on real food with very few ingredients, Manitoba Hemp Heart Bars are quite nutrient-dense and satisfying without causing digestive upset or being overly filling. Overall, these bars are a tasty option for allergy-friendly lunchboxes (even in peanut-free/nut-free classrooms!), travel snacks and pre- or post-workout fuel.  

I enjoyed the soft, moist texture of these bars and the simple appearance that highlights the natural ingredients without artificial colorings, textures or flavors.

Hemp hearts and hemp seeds are derived from the Cannibus sativa plant, but does not contain significant amounts of the “drug” part of the plant known as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).  As I mentioned in my Dec/Jan favorites post about hemp oil, hemp seeds are rich in plant-based omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids like ALA and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) which have anti-inflammatory benefits. Hemp also provides electrolytes and minerals like potassium, phosphorous, magnesium and calcium along with all 10 essential amino acids and vitamin A.
