I'm whey intolerant, so went for hemp protein powder back when i was using protein shakes.

I thought barley grass powder was great, and easier to tolerate than wheatgrass.

Back in the days I was protein shaking, I didn't have a home meter. It was before I realised I was T2, and I even knew you could buy your own meter.

I was drinking green smoothies, with added protein powder at the time, and adding in all sorts of stuff. flax. spirulina, MSM, coconut oil, barleygrass... felt great on it.
