protein, loaded with chlorophyll and
essential fatty acids. Chlorella is
perhaps the most vitamin- and mineraldense
“green food” available, including
a complete B vitamin profile. (Chlorella
has more vitamin B12 by weight than
liver!) Chlorella also contains naturally
occurring RNA and DNA for assisting
in cellular growth and repair, and is
considered an “eye health” nutrient,
courtesy of its plentiful amounts of betacarotene
and lutein. Lastly, chlorella
has gained a reputation as an excellent
detoxifying agent; it is purported to
have the ability to bind to heavy metals
as well as other toxic substances in the
bowels.
Alfalfa is an excellent source of amino
acids and is an ideal food source of
many vitamins and minerals including
vitamin K, suggested to be highly
beneficial for arterial health. Research
suggests that vitamin K directs calcium
to the bone, and keeps it there and out
of the linings of arteries, thus aiding in
the prevention of arterial calcification
and arteriosclerosis. Alfalfa is also
considered to be a helpful nutrient for
lowering cholesterol levels.

How to make your own Hammer
soy-free vegan protein fuels
With the introduction of Hammer Vegan Protein in three different flavors,
it is now easier than ever to make soy-free, vegan-friendly versions of
your favorite Hammer Nutrition fuels. While it's not possible to make exact
replicas of Perpetuem, Sustained Energy, or Recoverite using Hammer
Vegan Protein, the following “recipes” are quite similar in terms of their
carbohydrate and protein makeup, and their caloric donation.
Soy-Free Vegan
Perpetuem
Each scoop of Perpetuem contains 135
calories, 27 grams of carbohydrates,
3.5 grams of protein, and 1.25 grams of
fat. To make a fuel that's comparable to
Perpetuem using Hammer Vegan Protein,
mix:
• 1 level scoop of HEED = 100 calories
from 26 grams of carbohydrates
• 1/4 scoop of Hammer Vegan
Protein = 27.5 calories from 5
grams of protein, 1.25 grams of
carbohydrates, and 0.25 grams of fat
TOTAL CARBOHYDRATES – 27.25 grams
TOTAL PROTEIN – 5 grams
TOTAL FAT – 0.25 grams
TOTAL CALORIES – 127.5
Flavor suggestions:
• Mandarin Orange HEED + Vanilla
Hammer Vegan Protein = Orange-
Vanilla Soy-Free Vegan Perpetuem
• Strawberry HEED + Strawberry
Hammer Vegan Protein = Strawberry
Soy-Free Vegan Perpetuem
• Unflavored HEED + Vanilla Hammer
Vegan Protein + splash of cold
coffee = Caffé Latte Soy-Free Vegan
Perpetuem
NOTE: To make a soy-free vegan equivalent of a scoop of
Sustained Energy—which contains approximately 107
calories, 22.5 grams of carbohydrates, and 3.5 grams of
protein—just use a fraction less than the amounts needed
for making soy-free vegan Perpetuem. If flavoring is desired,
you can use whatever flavor of HEED that you wish. Or, to
more closely replicate the taste of Sustained Energy, use
Unflavored HEED.*
Soy-Free Vegan
Recoverite
Every two-scoop serving of Recoverite
contains 170 calories, 33 grams of
carbohydrates, and 10 grams of whey
protein. To make a similar recovery drink
using Hammer Vegan Protein, mix:
• 1 slightly heaping scoop of HEED
= approximately 115 calories from
roughly 30 grams of carbohydrates
• 1/2 scoop of Hammer Vegan
Protein = 55 calories from 10
grams of protein and 2.5 grams of
carbohydrates
TOTAL CARBOHYDRATES – 32.5 grams
TOTAL PROTEIN – 10 grams
TOTAL CALORIES – 170
Flavor suggestions:
• Lemon-Lime HEED + Vanilla Hammer
Vegan Protein = Citrus Soy-Free
Vegan Recoverite
• Strawberry HEED + Strawberry
Hammer Vegan Protein = Strawberry
Soy-Free Vegan Recoverite
• Unflavored HEED + Chocolate
Hammer Vegan Protein = Chocolate
Soy-Free Vegan Recoverite
*Measurements do not need to be precise; the
measurement suggestions as described above will get you
extremely close to the caloric-carbohydrate-protein content
as listed.
