Great nutrition
By Matthew Browne
I just wanted to add to my review below that I tried the other reviewer's recipe for a chocolate-banana shake, and it was really delicious (I made it with almond milk).---First of all I should mention that this product does not contain any narcotic compounds. From Manitoba's web site: "Hemp contains a fraction of the psychoactive compound, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that Marijuana does...all Manitoba Harvest(tm) products have 0.00% THC."This protein powder has been a great addition to my diet. I have a very fast metabolism so I need extra protein in order to stay healthy and feel good. I think this is healthier than the weigh protein I was taking before and I feel better eating it. I think in general vegetable protein is a better choice, and it may be better for achieving/maintaining your ideal body weight, whether you are underweight or overweight (especially if you also exercise regularly).I first started using this powder over a month ago and I find that it is best when used in shakes. It is also good as a snack mixed with plain yogurt and stevia (a natural sweetener). The taste is good in my opinion, though I have to admit I did like the taste of my weigh protein powder better. In the shakes I barely notice the difference, however, in spite of the slightly green color (the powder is green). The Chlorophyll and everything else in it is extremely healthy, and I think it's a great choice for anyone concerned about nutrition.I recommend drinking the protein shakes at least 20 min. apart from carbs. I also would have to caution that the other reviewer's recommendation about buying the kind with added fiber may not be best for everyone. If you already have plenty of fiber in your diet, adding that much additional fiber could act as a laxative.

Reasonably good, with a few cons
By Citlalli V
This was the first brand and size of hemp protein I bought. Initially, I was a bit put off by the 'green' scent, and the flavor was a little stronger than I expected - but one eventually gets used to it, and it becomes an acquired taste. The flavor itself is somewhat earthy, and it goes well in smoothies or with some vanilla yogurt. I also like using this as a base for energy bars.I was also very pleased that this was an organic, minimally processed product - something very important if you want to take care of your body and the planet.Now, the downsides:- This has more fiber than protein. Some people (like my dad) may do well on this, but I'm on a plant-based diet, and there IS such a thing as too much fiber.- The serving size is a bit too big. I'd also hoped a scoop would be included, but there wasn't one.All in all, I did like this product, and it was a nice introduction to hemp protein, but I have moved on to higher-protein versions. I believe it can be helpful for many people, but you do have to take in account what else you are eating and what you want your protein to do for you.

Amazing, But Better Version Elsewhere
By R. Williams
For some reason, this company makes two versions of this stuff. In the other version, there is more fiber. As a matter of fact, over 50% of US RDA in two tablespoons!!This stuff is great either way. I have gone from having a hot chocolate in the afternoon to making a shake w/this, one tablespoon of flaked dark chocolate, 2/3 of a frozen banana and either almonds or hazelnuts, then some grass-fed, raw milk. Gives me amazing energy and tastes great.(I got the fiber version @ vitaganza.com.)
