Better Than Any Other Proteing Supplement
By Jaime Lujan
I recently switched to protein supplements in an attempt to build lean muscle. Whey protein worked well but left me feeling bloated. I stumbled across this product while looking for an alternative, and it is fantastic! No bloating, no bog down, leaves me feeling fantastic. The taste leaves something to be desired, but what can you expect? It's raw, organic, and has no additives whatsoever, so protein is all you get. Mix it with a bit of almond milk, almond butter, and a banana, and it's the best thing ever!

Worth it if you're willing to get used to it
By Daimma
This definitely has to be mixed with something to make it tolerable, and I think it may take a few tries to get used to it. I mix it with protein shakes; the flavors of the protein shakes fortunately dominate vs. the taste of the hemp powder. It's a little weird drinking a concoction that looks green but tastes like banana, but the health benefits are worth it to me. It is gritty however. At first I tried it plain and had to basically choke it down, but I guess it's grown on me. Bottom line: if you're dedicated to finding a good vegan source of protein and other nutrition, it's worth a try to experiment with it by adding it to smoothies and other recipes.

Taste, Mixability Poor, Nutrition Optimum
By Reviewlord
This powder tastes very earthy (think vegetable fibers and peat) frankly. If you're consuming this, you're probably not particularly interested in drinking a milkshake (If you are, go to the Mickey Dees and grab a big ol' glass of milk and assorted toxins). This is not a product that is meant to "taste like candy", so if you are used to those designer whey powders that are full of sucralose and/or other artificial toxins and ridiculous flavors like "Super Duper Berry Cookie Crunch", then you will find this product to be very disappointing.This product has very low solubility in water or milk, but mixes better with any freshly squeezed (non-factory-processed juices). Fresh squeezed juice will generally have pith, fiber, etc. left in it that adds to its viscosity and greatly lowers the rate of dissolution (how long it takes for the hemp to become 'unmixed' and sink to the bottom of the glass). Essentially, the thicker the solvent, the less that the hemp will settle. Additionally, having the juice at room temperature will further increase the solubility.I might also suggest a shaker/bottle combination of some type, as opposed to an open glass stirred with a spoon. I use a BlenderBottle 28-Ounce with BlenderBall, Blue myself.If you want a cheaper way to mix up milled hemp, please note that the above rules are applicable to canned tomato juice, since it is viscous, and stores well at room temperature (and is dirt cheap). Most of the time I take my hemp protein with a can of no-salt-added tomato juice (it is delicious and so easy to make for a low-carbohydrate, high-protein breakfast.This product is pure and truly free of chemicals, there is only one ingredient: Cold-milled hemp protein, mechanically pressed (no reverse osmosis or other chemical processes are used on the hemp seeds). The reason that people consume this is for maximum nutrition. All you get is Protein, antioxidants, heart-healthy fatty-acids, and a little fiber (from the hulls), that is everything nutritionally in this stuff. It is awesome.
