I bought a bag of this today at Costco. I had never heard of these. They have 10g of protein per 3 tbsp. You can sprinkle it on yogurt, salads,shakes, cereal, oatmeal, etc. I sprinkled some on my Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt and loved it. Check it out and tell me what you think of the nutritional value http://manitobaharvest.com/product/207/Hemp-Hearts-16oz.html

 If they taste good, I can see myself buying them....  They are a little high in calories, but comparable to one of my favorite snacks- soy nuts :)

They are soo tiny, but add just a lil bit of a soft crunch to my yogurt. I am pretty sure they are just as good on salads, in shakes or oatmeal. I will definately wait to use these post op closer to my weight maintanance stage :-)

They look pretty good other than the high calories and high fat.  Pumpkin seeds have similar stats and I love them.  But have chosen to wait until maintenance to dig into them.  

Love me some greek yogurt!!

I waited to add the pumpkin seeds, too, but not until goal (obviously).  I waited about 8 months post op.  Well, my weight loss slowed down (almost stopped) so I had to cut some things back.  It's always easier to add things in than cut them out!!  LOL  So waiting is a very smart thing.  Wish I would never have had them until goal.
