I've heard/read that protein is good for distance runners - aids in recovery, etc. A co-worker of mine (a trained medical Dr.) suggested that I give a hemp protein a try. Anyone every hear of this stuff? Is it a safe, effective suppliment?

Thanks,

Chris

I guess it's one way to increase the protein in brownies.

It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Hemp is goooood.

What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.

Might cause you to overeat.

Ultima tastes like failure.

I put hemp hearts in a smoothie and it was tasty! Kind of nutty. Reminded me of sesame seeds.

I suppose it should be good for anyone, not just distance runners. I bought some once but I didn't really like the flavor enough to continue. I too read that it's a very good source of protein.

I actually prefer salba seeds, mainly because it's seems to satisfy the appetite more. That, and it makes me feel ilke a Tarahumara!!

The type of Hemp protein I was told of comes in powder form and can be mixed with juice or other fluids. Guess a tablespoon is suppose to have 18 or 19 g of protein.
