Alive Foods RAW Organic Hemp Protein - 1 kg

### Hemp Protein Powder

Hemp protein powder contains all 20 amino acids, of which 10 are essential. This is unique for plant-based proteins. Hemp contains the so-called branched-chain amino acids in a good balance (also called BCAA), which are considered important for muscle growth. It also contains plenty of healthy dietary fiber as well as the fatty acids Omega 3, 6, and 9. Hemp is therefore perfect for those who are active and train.

**Usage:** Hemp protein has a mild taste and is perfect to mix into smoothies, milkshakes, yogurt, baked goods, etc.

**Recipe for healthy protein bars to keep in your bag:**

* 2 dl hemp powder
* 20 dates
* 1 dl sesame seeds
* 2 dl pumpkin seeds
* 2 tbsp water
* 1 tbsp acai powder
* 1 tbsp spirulina powder
* a pinch of salt
* ½ tsp vanilla powder
* 2 tsp lemon

Blend the ingredients in a food processor. Take a baking paper. Spread a 5-centimeter long and about 1 centimeter high strip of the mixture on the paper. Fold the paper over and shape into bars. Store in the fridge for a week. In the freezer, they keep for a month.

**Facts:** Do not confuse protein powder with so-called "hemp flour," which is ground from unhulled seeds and contains many hull residues. The protein powder is made from hulled seeds, which increases the nutritional content and gives a soft powder. This variety of hemp – which is actually the most common type – has nothing to do with the varieties that contain THC. They are two different types of botanically related plants.
