Health Benefits Of A Few Key Ingredients! 

Hemp Hearts: Manitoba Harvest Hemp hearts, also known as hemp seeds, contain 10 grams of protein as well as 10 grams of omega 3 and omega 6 fats per serving (which is 30 grams).

Pumpkin Seeds: These seeds contain protein, fiber, healthy fats and zinc which can boost immunity and skin health!

Oats: Oats contains soluble fiber which can help soak up and eliminate dietary toxins and fats – such as cholesterol, from the body! Fiber is essential for optional bowel health and regularity.

Flaxseeds: These seeds contain fiber and omega 3 fats which are known to support brain and heart health

Nut Butters: A great way to add protein and again more fiber and healthy fats! They also add a rich, creamy taste and texture to these cookies.

Tigernut Flour: This is the brand I use! You can order online here. Tigernut flour is a root vegetable, not a nut! It’s perfect for those with a nut allergy or gluten-free. Tigernut flour is slightly sweet, has great texture and contains resistant starch which supports gut health.
