Hey Rob – glad u like it! Nope – I don’t use any seeds (Date, Apple or Avocado). I know some people blend their apple seeds but I don’t. I don’t think you’d want to blend the Avocado pit – those are really big.

Ravi,

I love this shake. I’m drinking it now! Thx for sharing it. I assume you don’t use the avocado pit or the date pits, but mix in all parts of the apple; correct?

Thanks!
Rob

Hi Scott;

It would not. Many athletes use Hemp protein as a supplement. I believe that the type of hemp that is cultivated for consumption is different in some form than the variety used for the drug. It has much lower THC. Also, The seeds, which the protein powder is made from, are not what people would smoke anyway

Another question regarding hemp protein. If I did use this product could it result in a positive drug test?

I am a chemist and I am honestly not sure. Please tell me what you know.

Hey Scott; I am vegan and avoid any protein from animal sources. Furthermore, I find that Hemp Protein tastes good (a bit nutty, which I like) and is high in Omega fatty acids (which are good for you).

I think Hemp Protein is a great protein source for anyone, especially those looking to reduce their reliance on animal protein sources. It tastes great in smoothies. You should try it out!

I like Manitoba Harvest brand. It mixes well and tastes great. Let me know what you think.

Ravi,
That sounds like it would do the trick.

Why Hemp protein powder?
I have read until my head nearly exploded about what source of protein is better, soy or whey etc…
What’s your take? Why?

I am currently taking whey protein but I am considering greatly to cycle onto a soy based protein to see how I feel.

I enjoy checking the site and have Gym Jones as a link for hard core inspiration.

Cheers

[...] Set Higher Standards wrote an interesting post today on Raw Power SmoothieHere’s a quick excerpt This Raw Power Smoothie is highly alkalizing, satiating and tastes really good! [IMG] (ingredients for my Raw Power Smoothie) For the past few weeks I’ve been enjoying a big raw-food smoothie every morning. It’s a great addition to my diet. What prompted me to start doing this? I met someone about a month ago, who has been vegan for 20+ years, and mostly raw for almost as long. He is full of energy and very strong and fit. I never would have guessed he was Vegan, let along mostly raw. I to [...]
