This Raw Hemp Protein Brownie was definitely a favourite in our office! It is raw, has no refined sugars and with that little citrus kick from the lemon zest it was the perfect morning tea treat. Another recipe where we used our pure hemp protein and the delicious Little Bird Organics Cacao Powder. To change the Raw Hemp Protein Brownie up a bit you can always add some local, seasonal nuts or other freeze dried fruits into the mix. Double the recipe below if you like your brownie slices a bit thicker!
