Hemp

News flash: Hemp is it!

I recently purchased hemp protein because I learned that it contains the essential amino acids and contains a high ratio of the omegas.

The protein I have started to use is by Living Harvest. I purchased it on Amazon and have begun to drink one 'shake' of it per day. I mix it with water only. My guess is that others mix it with juice and perhaps add fruit and other items. I drink mine straight up.

Additionally, I have been converting recipes to vegan options and needed a milk substitute. Living Harvest also offers hemp milk. I found it at my local grocery, and am going to venture into it for a bechamel sauce.

I think I'm slow to this hemp revolution, but I am so glad to have discovered it. Years ago, I went the soy route, and frankly it didn't work for me. So as time has passed, the options have multiplied -- almond milk, rice milk, oat milk, and so on. It's great to see so many options for so many tastes.

So if you are looking for an alternative or just want to give it a try, I recommend hemp.
