Lately, I’ve been trying to add more protein to my diet. To do that, I’ve been sprinkling hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds from the health food store) into my salads, cereals, and even…dessert?! This is my delicious white chocolate and butterscotch chip hemp seed cookie recipe. Try saying that three times fast!
