Why that brand of protein? 

Manitoba harvest has the only water soluble protein on the market(it blends well in a shaker cup). Some benefits of hemp protein is that Hemp70 is easily digestible, a complete plant based protein, offering all essential amino acids - great for vegan or vegetarian diets. It's also just better for you than Whey, so if you aren't vegan or vegetarian it's a great option. I love that It is mild tasting with a creamy texture that is delicious to add to my smoothies, or stirred into yogurt and oatmeal! My favorite flavor is chocolate.

Gone Bananas Smoothie

I have a smoothie obsession. They never get old as long as I mix things up a little. I happen to have some perfectly ripe bananas and decided to make this smoothie after my workout.

It's pretty delicious, and I definitely recommend adding the cinnamon and vanilla extract. If you want it a little more sweet (maybe your bananas aren't very ripe), you can add stevia for extra sweetness.
