If you haven’t tried hemp protein or cacao nibs before, here’s some info on these two powerhouse foods.

Hemp protein is an easy-to-digest, raw, vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free source of complete protein, containing the 10 essential amino acids.

Cacao nibs are small pieces of the raw cacao bean. They are a good source of antioxidants, essential minerals, healthy fats, and fiber. Just like chocolate, cacao nibs have an influence on our brain’s neurotransmitters, encouraging positive emotions.
