Our Powerful Plant-Based Protein - HEMP

The Scoop on Hemp: A Powerful Protein From a Small Seed

All of our JOJO’s Chocolate flavors are boosted with hemp protein to give your body some love in the form of an ultra-healthy complete protein. We’re talking 4-6 grams of protein per chocolate bar. And we bet you wouldn’t have guessed it was there unless we told you! We think the nutty flavor of hemp protein blends beautifully with our dark chocolate and other functional ingredients. Here's all the hype on hemp! 

Turns out, some plants actually have quite a bit of protein. Hemp seeds are an excellent example. These tiny seeds pack a big health punch (in fact, they’re widely considered a superfood). Grind them up for a protein powder that gives your body a bunch of what it needs. 

The scoop on hemp 

Whether you sprinkle them on a salad or grind them into a powder to use at will, hemp seeds deliver:

  • A complete protein: Lots of plant-based proteins don’t give your body all nine essential amino acids. Hemp protein does. If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you can look to hemp as a way to give your body the complete protein it needs. 
  • Fiber: Hemp is super rich in fiber, which helps you feel full longer and supports your gut health. This is another big differentiator between hemp and other plant-based protein powders, which are often low in fiber. 
  • Digestibility: When it comes to ease-of-digestion, animal proteins generally trounce plant-based proteins. Again, hemp protein stands apart, this time thanks to high marks for digestibility despite coming from a plant. 
  • Micronutrients: Hemp provides a pretty impressive portfolio of vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, and phosphorus.
  • Healthy fats: Not only does hemp provide both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, but it also delivers them in the ideal 3:1 ratio for your body. 

  • Clearly, hemp seeds are fairly impressive. You can buy bagfuls of them at your local grocery story to sprinkle over any food you want. Lots of people love their nutty, earthy flavor. 

     

    Jojo's goal from day one in the home kitchen was to create not just a DELICIOUS chocolate snack but a SATISFYING snack that she could enjoy, guilt-free. That was her reason for adding protein to her chocolate. Now we all have a way to indulge in our favorite food, CHOCOLATE, while giving our body what it needs to thrive. So enjoy JOJO's Guilt-Free chocolate with added hemp-protein!
