Protein Packed

This granola is full of seeds that provide both a source of protein and a variety of health benefits. As seeds are essentially in the stage prior to evolving into larger plants, they contain high nutrition profiles for such small servings. Pumpkin and hemp seeds are a great source of plant-based protein, containing all of the essential amino acids. They are ‘essential’ because your body does not produce them, so it is important to consume them through certain foods. They are known as the building blocks of the body due to their many important jobs including building cells, repairing tissue, forming antibodies, building RNA & DNA and carrying oxygen through the body. So it’s clear that we wouldn’t survive long without them! These processes are essential when you’re training often as your muscles are constantly being torn down and require that extra oxygen and restoration.
