I dunno, we have a few houseplants here that “bleed” white stuff when you snap a leaf off or bump them with the vacuum cleaner. It kills cats or something (we’re not cat people).

But I can guarantee that I’d never considered making a milkshake out of the stuff…

Where’s that blender… ;0)

The long answer:
Hemp Milk Smoothies are what my wife & I have been drinking every morning for the past few months. I heard Tony Gonzalez on ESPN radio peddling his diet book. He said that once he changed his diet, his energy levels went up. At the time both the Mrs & I were really dragging, so we bought into it.

So far the only part we’ve done is the breakfast smoothie. Which uses hemp milk instead of cow milk. So I go down to my local health food co-op and order a case of this stuff every so often, which runs $45+.

You then mix it with frozen bananas(peeled before freezing) and other stuff (our favorite is baby spinach). Throw in some whey protein powder (also expensive…we only use half a scoop), blend it all together and enjoy.

My wife says she has noticed a difference, I haven’t yet. But the thing is we haven’t followed the rest of the diet. We’re supposed to cut way back on red meat and diary (hence the hemp milk), eat more chicken and black beans, and work out.

I just started working out the past two weeks, but ironically, I also have cut back on the smoothies(no time in morning…must get up earlier…but too tired from working out).

It’s a work in progress, but as long as at least one of us think that the smoothies are helping, we’ll continue.

I have to admit that it is kind of a pain to drink a cold drink (basically a shake) when it is freezing outside.
