With more of us looking for alternatives to eating animals, new research has found a surprising environmentally friendly source of protein -- algae.

The University of Exeter study has been published in The Journal of Nutrition and is the first of its kind to demonstrate that the ingestion of two of the most commercially available algal species are rich in protein which supports muscle remodeling in young healthy adults.

Algae just have a pretty strong flavor and might be off-putting for some so for it to take off i would love to have different flavours and species to pick from. Would be interning. So far I've only tried spirulina which has a quite strong taste in my smoothies and is deafening the taste of almost everything else.

Try Soylent. Their premixed bottles taste really good.

You need to watch the movie called Soylent Green to catch this reference.
