I recently asked if there was a protein mix I could take instead of whey protein because I realized that I am allergic to whey. Which is what all of the Atkins products have in them. I used the Atkins products anyway because I am a highly allergic person, first of all, and I just assumed that my allergies were caused from what I take allergy shots for; grasses, molds, animals. But then it donned on me that when I eat Atkins products all of my symptoms get worse. So, I quit the Atkins products and my nose stopped running, I stop sneezing, and the like. One of my friends suggested Hemp protein. I really like it.
I started using Spirulina again. I tried it several months ago but I couldn't choke it down for nothing. Mixing it in a smoothie never worked as this stuff is truly one of the worst smelling, tasting food.
At the same time I asked about a protein supplement another friend of mine suggested Spirulina. She said just a teaspoon a day is enough. She said she likes the taste too. But, the difference between what she is doing and what I was doing was about 2 tsp. So instead of putting a tablespoon into a smoothie, I dropped it down to a tsp. I can handle it and I don't even taste it.
So, now my daily smoothie consists of 1 tlbs of hemp, 1 tsp of spirulina, strawberries, almond milk, and raspberry SF Davinci syrup.
Going back to Spirulina. It is an algae, which means I believe it is a mold. But, from what I read spirulina can actually calm all of my allergies, even mold. This makes sense because allergy shots give you a dose of what you are allergic to, to make you immune. Yes, it's causing an allergic reaction but not all the time and I believe I am slowly getting my allergies under control.
