First of all, don’t get all judgemental with hemp. It actually has medicinal properties that are being used in multiple health sectors for various health conditions.
You can access all its benefits by incorporating it in your pre-workout routine with this powerhouse smoothie! Packed with hemp protein, it's a protein-rich blend boasting magnesium and iron for muscle strength and bone health. Not stopping here, hemp protein boosts immunity and promotes healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Whether pre or post-workout, it's a favourite go-to.
