3 tbsp hemp seed

The hemp seed will add 10g of protein which is equivalent to about 1.5 eggs. It also contains omega 3 fatty acids. Chia seed is rich in anti-oxidants, soluble fiber, omega 3 fatty acids and minerals. And unlike flax seed it does not need to blended to benefit from the nutrients.
**Hemp and Chia seeds can both be purchased at Whole Foods in the bulk section.
