Manitoba Harvest Organic Max Protein Powder, Unsweetened, 32 oz

I have no problem with this product. I read some things that weren't very complimentary and as far as I can tell,weren't true either. I put it in smoothies and the taste is not evident. (Because I tend to avoid sweeter things,as smoothies are,I needed to find another way to use this product. I like using the hemp+fiber in cold cereal,but that has a nutty flavor and it can't be done with this product(to my tastes. Plus it is powdery and I ended up inhaling some of it down my throat when I tried that,which makes you choke/anyone who ever at powdered Nestle's Quick off the spoon as a kid probably knows what I'm talking about. The way,the fastest,easiest way to get a good bit of protein is to add hemp protein to cold cereal. I decided to try grinding/chopping walnuts in my blender,mixing it with this protein-dense hemp protein,adding a little turbinado sugar and putting it in cold cereal. And it works and tastes just fine. Most likely, almonds or sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds would work just as well,(or other nut/seed that might be preferred.) Also,using the Light Silk original flavor soymilk,which has some cane sugar in it,also works well. But I use it on Old Fashioned oatmeal. Uncooked and cold,straight from the box,and it is an unsweetened (hot) cereal which is fine,to me and a few other people I know,eaten as a cold cereal). If someone is using a cereal that already has sweetening in it,I think modifying or altering other sugar(or the soymilk) I mentioned would be best. I like it because it delivers a substantial amount of protein in a compact serving size(protein grams per ounce or protein grams per serving is what I generally look for). I'm happy with this product. I haven't tried it in cereal yet but I might. Someone told me the hemp + fiber was good in cereal and I thought they were nuts.(Again,I already was using hemp protein + fiber but only used it in smoothies) But I tried it in some Yogi vegan cereal with unsweetened soy milk and it was very good. This is straight hemp protein without fiber and for typical use of protein powders, I like it. I shy away from soy powders so I'm always glad to find a product that delivers a substantial amount of plant-based,vegan protein.

I was looking for a plant-based protein powder with super clean ingredients that had complete proteins. This fits the bill perfectly. To be honest, I was scared of how bad it would taste given how healthy it is but it’s not bad! It is a bit chalky and nutty, but it’s very tolerable given it doesn’t have any artificial ingredients. Absolutely worth the trade off. I blend it with cold soy milk and half a chilled banana and it’s pretty tasty! Would even be better with peanut butter if you don’t mind the extra calories. You could also add things like maple syrup or honey or frozen berries. Those all make it pretty tasty but are not necessary. I also asked about the ingredients in the Q&A section, and I appreciated the prompt response from the manufacturer.

Good quality, smooth and not very gritty. Very earthy flavor. Overall, very good product, but I consistently only got 22 servings out of more than one bag. 😒

Keep in mind my rating is reflected in how I use this product. I come from a life of eating minimal vegetables and animal products, processed foods and sweet foods. I've kept an active lifestyle but have kidney and an inflammatory issue that is starting to distort my fingers. After lots of reading in desperation, I felt my diet was at the very least, adding fuel to the fire. (I heard this before but never took it serious) I had to train myself to like more plant based food and bring down my dependence on the other stuff. I ran into this Hemp pro 70, and amazing meal vanilla chi drink on a great special, that I decided to give it a shot. I've since repurchased it 3 times at full price. I'm using it to help transition me while I learn to like better foods and cut out the old stuff. It sucked, I hate it so much at first but for me the alternative of doing nothing was the worst option. Anyways, I use a scoop of this, a scoop of amazing grass, frozen raspberries and unsweetened almond milk in a ninja blender. Even then it can have a bit of a dirt like feel, but it's tolerable for me. The 5 stars are for tolerably alone. It's good on my stomach and it doesn't make me gag (which is big for me). I get more use to it as I drink it. It ALMOST find myself enjoying it after a hard day of yard work. My taste buds definitely enjoy drinking it more after laying off any sugar and flour food items. I have now trained myself to tolerate carrots, broccoli and sometimes spinach and cauliflower. I hardly miss meat and my workouts have not suffered. If I can do it, it has to be possible for anyone.

I love it! Clean simple ingredients. I love the texture and it blends well whenever I make my banana strawberry smoothie. It’s a bit pricey 😩. Low sugar!

Its undrinkable. Taste and feel like drinking liquid clay. the smell is like fish food. Its really that bad. I've tried it few times, and each time it got worse and worse. No way something like that is actually good for the body.

Very Good... But..... The GOOD::: VERY high protein for a pure Hemp Powder w/no added ingredients. The NOT-SO-GOOD:::: Past Reviews said that this blends well in smoothies (a BIG reason I purchased this one) - UHHH, NO - Though I blended it for over 3 minutes, it remained GRITTY, making for a sub-optimal smoothie. I'm somewhat disappointed b/c this Canadian brand is a VERY HIGH QUALITY product that is, unfortunately, GRITTY upon blending. Still, you will NOT FIND a no-frills Hemp Powder with this much protein (20 grams/serving). So... I'd probably buy it again.

Very happy with this product. I see a lot of reviews on how it tastes, and let me make my opinion clear. This tastes just like what you'd expect protein powder to taste like. It's not bitter or strong at all. It's is not grainy either. It is powdered very finely. I was a little apprehensive to buy the larger size because of all the negative feedback it received on the two I mentioned, however I do like the plant and herbal flavors. I find them to be very refreshing in a world of packaged starches and sugars. Before this I was using a brown rice protein and it tastes about the same in strength of flavor. I made a smoothie out of it with fruit, coconut milk, and I had no problems with the consistency or dissolution and I could barely taste the protein powder which I used the full 4 tablespoons in. I guess if you mix it with only water it might taste bad but if you do that with most protein powders without additional flavoring I guess you could say the same. Look nothing is going to taste like cupcakes and snickerdoodles unless you eat cupcakes and snickerdoodles. Stop trying to make everything taste like a cheeseburger and ice cream. This is what clean living tastes like. I fyou still can;t take the taste I would add some vanilla, almond extract or honey, agave, etc to sweeten it a bit.

It smells like fish or fish food, and taste horrible, tried with banana and peanut butter, the same taste, my partner unable to drink it.
