Vegan Hemp Seed Ranch
Ahhh, ranch. A timeless American staple.
Buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, and 50% of your daily sodium allowance, what could go wrong?!
​
In all seriousness though, if we aspire as individuals to look and feel drastically different than the rest of America - than we have to start eating drastically different than most Americans.
​
Which is why I've made it my goal in life to help others find those classic nostalgic flavors from the foods they grew up loving - using ingredients that love them right back.
​
This creamy hemp-seed dip offers up all the Hidden Valley vibes with less calories, saturated fat and sodium - and more protein, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids too boot.
​
Hang onto your heart-strings, folks. You're going to love this one.
