Our Fall Superfood Salad with a kick of brain-balancing CBD screams “AUTUMN!” The butternut Squash, cinnamon, and pecan flavors conjure mental pictures of hayrack rides and crisp fall leaves crunching underfoot. A full serving of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts adds 10 grams protein, 12 grams Omegas 3 & 6, and complement the salad’s rich nutty taste. We recommend prepping enough butternut squash for the week so you can mix up a salad for lunch: the sweet maple syrup and awesome power of Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract with CBD in the dressing can help boost your mood for the second half of the day!
