It's time for our quarterly recipe round-up! It's incredible to think we're approaching the last leg of 2021 already. This year, we've been fortunate enough to collaborate with some incredible food fanatics who have used Hemp Seed, Flour, Protein, and Oil as inspiration in their dishes.
In the last couple of months, you might have seen some very creative adaptations of crowd-favourites remade to incorporate our Hemp food products.
These 10 recipes are simple to follow, easy to make, healthy, and downright delicious. It's safe to say our friends have set quite the example in terms of how to utilise Hemp Seed in a diverse set of recipes. We couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity to work with them!

Do you think you could say no to a plate of these? It's yet another one of the top 10 Hemp recipes of 2021!
We certainly find it hard to imagine! turning a plate down!
Okay... fine, here's how you make them 😜
1. 1 cup Margaret River Hemp Co Hemp Seeds
2. 1/3 cup hazelnut butter Noya Nut Butter
3. 1/4 cup hazelnut meal (or sub for almond meal)
4. 2 Tablespoons cocao powder (not cocoa, get cocao)
5. 2 Tablespoons plant mylk
6. 1 scoop (40gms) choc protein powder from It's Veego
7. 1 Tbsp maple syrup
8. 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
9. Handful hazelnuts (roasted in the oven)
1. Combine ingredients (except whole hazelnuts) in a bowl and mix to combine.
2. Roll into balls (now if to add one roasted hazelnut per ball - optional)
3. Refrigerate prior to topping with melted chocolate.
Note #1: I used Noya Nut Butter hazelnut butter to save making my own. It's like Nutella minus the chocolate and it's available in supermarkets.
Note #2: If you don't have protein powder add in an extra tablespoon of cocao AND another half tablespoon of maple syrup. Cocao is a bit more on the bitter side having no sugar or milk products added so you need a bit of extra sweetness to counteract this.
This is one of the Hemp recipes that you could make every day of the week & still not get sick of it!
The best thing is that it's totally plant-based.
Here's how you make it!
1. Ceres Organics Jackfruit
2. Old El Paso Mex seasoning and salsa sauce
3. Fresh salsa with cucumber, tomato and spinach
4. Made With Plabnts mozzarella
5. Smashed avo
6. Mission Food Sanz purple corn chips
7. Margaret River Hemp Co Hemp Seeds
8. Brown rice
1. Fry your jackfruit in the Old El Paso Mex seasoning and salsa sauce
2. Add all of your base ingredients in your preferred order or layering
3. You can bake this in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 180 degrees or have them unbaked
4. Top with Hemp Seeds and Brown Rice
This sandwich is one of the most nutritious and satisfying feeds we've seen.
What more could you want for a mid-day treat?
1. 2 cups roughly torn basil leaves (approx 1 large bunch)
2. 1/4 cup roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped or ground
3. Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
4. 1/4 cup Margaret River Hemp Co Hemp Seed Oil
5. 2 tbsp Margaret River Hemp Co Hemp Seeds
6. Pinch salt & pepper to taste
7. Roasted Pumpkin and Onion
8. Semi-dried cherry tomatoes
9. Creamy goats feta
10. Pesto sauce (try hemp pesto if you're feeling adventurous!)
1. Using a mortar and pestle, bullet blender or food processor, simply combine all ingredients (batch if you need to) and mix well!
2. Spread the ingredients on a sandwich base - you can have this either toasted or untoasted, but we love it toasted!
Note #1: You may choose to add a bit more or less hemp seed oil, depending on what machine you're using. For reference, we used a mortar and pestle or Vitamix.
Note #2: if not following serving suggestions for this recipe, this would not be considered low fodmap due to increased portions of hazelnuts.
Who wouldn't love a good burger?! 🍔
Well, this one is plant-based, loaded with nutrition. On top of that, it's in a bowl.
It doesn't get much easier than this!
2. 1 onion
3. 1 sweet potato (medium size, cut into chips)
4. 1 avocado
5. 1 carrot
6. 1 prepared beetroot (can use a can of diced beetroot for convenience)

9. Handful of spinach
10. Handful of lettuce
11. Plant-based cheese
12. Cheeseburger sauce from Made With Plants

2. Meanwhile, start preparing the rest of your veggies. Dice, slice and/or grate to your liking. All ingredients will be raw except the onions so keep them aside.
3. Heat up your fry pan, add a small amount of oil (I used EVOO) and begin cooking Veef burgers as per box instructions. Throw your onions in to fry with the burgers.
4. Once your sweet potatoes, burgers and onions are ready. Time to assemble your bowl⤵️
2. Next, portion quantities of your veg around the bowl. Don’t forget your sweet potato chips!
3. Add burger to the middle of the bowl along with cheese and onions.
4. Top with sauce and hemp seeds. (I went with cheeseburger sauce but tomato or barbecue would work nicely too)

2. Whilst pasta is cooking mix the dressing ingredients together in a bowl
3. In a much larger bowl place salad ingredients. Add pasta once cooled and mix with salad ingredients
4: Add half the dressing onto the pasta salad and saved the other half for a top-up when serving.
Notes: Dressing lasts well in a jar for a few days in the fridge.
