Substitutions/Recipe Tips
Chocolate milk provides enough sweetness for me. I used 2% milk, but you can certainly replace it with 1%, or even swap it out for non-dairy milk. Chocolate oat milk is delicious. Hemp milk is a great choice too.
Sweetener if needed can be agave, honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.
Fresh berries can be replaced with frozen berries. You can even switch up the berries. Try blueberries or strawberries.
Cocoa can be replaced with cacao or black cocoa.
Hemp Heart FAQ
Yes! Full of protein, healthy fats and fibre, hemp seeds are a great addition to any recipe.

They have a very mild taste and creamy texture. Not overpowering at all. Similar to the taste of pine nuts. You can also slightly toast them for a more nutty flavour.
