Protein Rich Hemp Zucchini Fritters
It’s all too common to see a Clinic client’s Nutrition review of their diet to be low in both Iron and Protein. These Hemp fritters are high in Iron, Protein (37gm) fibre, folate, selenium and magnesium which make them a great addition to the family menu especially for those feeling low energy, fatigue, restless legs or struggling with concentration levels. Whip them up for brekkie or take them cold for snacks through the day.
Hemp protein is milled from whole hemp seeds and is also good source of Omega 3 which is a powerful anti inflammatory as well as important for brain development. It’s highly dense in nutrients and easy to add to most meals or smoothies.
