Good Morning Hemp

🚫First of all let me say – I did not get paid or sponsored to do this. This is NOT a paid advertisement.

Reviewing MyProtein Hemp Protein Powder.

• Weight: 2.5 kilo’s
• Price: 42.99 pounds
• Mix-ability: excellent with water or curd. Put in shaker and shake well to mix.
• Duration Lasted: just a little over 2 month.

Ziploc bag opens real quick, so you wanna put this whole bag into another airtight container. We had really big whey buckets so I put it in there to keep air tight. The main reason MyProtein is affordable is because they didn’t spend so much money on packaging. Their Hemp protein powder is great quality and I felt great adding this to my meal plan.

MORNING ROUTINE : UPDATE

So we ( Silverback & I )  have updated our morning routine to better suit the body’s needs.  Previously the hemp – curd smoothie was the second meal of the day; the first being a fruit smoothie. But now switched the two around, hemp-curd first then fruit smoothie. Our reasons (researched & scientific backed logic)  are the following:

1.  Saving The Gains

After a whole nights sleep (fasting) body needs  protein to replenish and keep in stock glycogen  and amino acids ( protein ). This prevents my body from breaking down my lean muscle also known as GAINS!

macro count from hemp – curd

• 1 scoop hemp ( 30 grams) : 16 grams complete protein
• 100 grams curd : 6 grams protein ( includes casein)

why curd with my hemp? sorry guys, truth is hemp has a very strong grassy flavour and I.JUST.CAN’T.HANDLE.IT 😷 Mixing hemp and curd ( with 2 teaspoon sugar ) together mellows down the grassy flavour and actually tastes pretty good.

2. No Sugar Spikes

Fiber from hemp slows down digestion and does not give me sugar spikes. Sugar spikes are one of the main reasons we feel sudden fatigues. Plant fiber helps by maintaining a constant release of sugar ( glucose aka energy) into our blood stream. So I feel good for longer amount of time.

3. Quality

Hemp is such an amazing plant that comes with countless benefits, we want it in our system first thing in the morning. It’s like starting the engine with the best fuel. I know hemp is supporting, improving and repairing our gut- making us stronger from the inside.

• Hemp seeds are composed of more than 30 percent healthy fats, including the essential fatty acids linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid (plant-based omega-3
• Hemps seeds are about 25 percent protein and also provide nutrients including vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron, and zinc
• With all of the essential amino acids and an amount of protein similar to beef (by weight), hemp seeds are an excellent form of plant-based protein.

and so much more i dont have space for here !

Sooo….

The fruit smoothie comes packed with fiber and quick digesting sugars. The fruit smoothie provides a good amount nutrients for energy and vitamins to fuel my workout. If you feel gas-y or acidic after a workout I would def suggest a fruit smoothie. Vitamin C is a major player in shaping, toning and keeping you fit.
