Want more energy ?

I just came back from my workout and couldn't wait to prepare a shake. When I come back from a workout, I take one scoop of Isapro protein shake and one scoop of Isalean shake that I put in my blender. But recently, I was recently introduced to the "Want more energy" product.

This thing tastes fantastic. I could go through a jar in a single sitting!

When you first look at it, it looks more like bird feed than anything else -- nothing to wet your appetite . . . But when you taste it, WOW.

It is mostly made up of hulled hemp seeds, which can be mistaken for sesame seeds, and Isa lite -- the proprietary ionic mineral blend only available in Isagenix products -- added. It is a great source of Omega 3-6-9, proteins (25%) and GLA fatty acids (31%), and carbohydrates (34%).And did I say it tastes great ?

Now, whenever I come back from my training or from a strenuous activity and need a little boost, I prepare my protein shake like before, but I add a heaping spoonful of "want more energy" into the mix. It really puts me back on top.

Most people just enjoy "want more energy" as a snack, which is great too, except that when you start tasting it, you may not stop :-) Fortunately, since it does not contain anything bad for you, you can't go wrong if you over indulge.

As you may or may not know, hemp is a plant in the same family as cannabis and fiber from that plant are used to make clothing with the look and feel of cotton. The hemp used does not contain THC, the active ingredient in pot which gives you the buzz, although sometimes when you can't stop eating it you may wonder whether or not it has something addictive in it.
