I've always been too chicken to try Hemp protein. Or any protein powders for that matter! Does it give more energy?

I wouldn't say it gives me more energy but it certainly helps to ensure I get that little extra protein quickly and efficiently especially post workout

I like protein powders simply because I can get something straight into me after my workouts when I know it will be another hour or so before I have any appetite.

Plus a scoop on my oats in the morning adds a bit of flavour and makes them taste better.
