Being so into veggies ‘n all, I’ve been looking for ways to sneak more protein into my diet. Hemp protein powder does the trick, in combination with a variety of nuts and seeds.
Bonus: Flaxseed is great source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and lignans (antioxidants.) Super important though: To receive full benefits, you’ll always want to grind your flaxseed first, otherwise it will pass through your body undigested. Pre-ground flaxseed is an option but it can become rancid so buying it whole and grinding it yourself in a coffee grinder is a fantastic idea!
I like grade B pure maple syrup since it’s got a richer flavor and more minerals than grade A. Learned that during my first cleanse many moons ago.
