Healthy Protein Powders

I am a keen gym person and find that I do well if I take a protein powder after my workout, ut lots of protein powders are full of all sorts of other stuff as well. I like Good Hemp Protein Powder. The taste isn’t that great, but I mix it with orange juice and glug it down. Since I've been doing that I've found I recover better, am generally less tired (particularly in the morning) and my skin looks and feels a lot better.

I like the fact that it’s made in the UK on a farm in Devon. I was pleased to receive their latest newsletter and to read this:

“This year we have been growing on farms where we plant additional areas with plants to increase birdlife and wildlife. In fact for every acre of hemp we planted, we planted an additional 10% of land with wildflowers, special grass mixes and food for the birds through the winter.

"The combination of this work and the benefits of hemp have increased the birdlife dramatically – in fact the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) recently counted the birds seen in a section of the farm and found almost 70% increase from 5 years ago.”
