Manitoba HarvestHEMP PRTN PWDR PRO 70

Very good vegan protein source, tastes good in smoothies

I love this hemp powder! It gives me a powerful protein, vitamins and mineral boost. As a vegan, I appreciate its complete protein package, and I find that I can meet my daily protein needs more easily.I was afraid that this hemp stuff would taste like dirt & hay. Much to my surprise and enjoyment, this blends seamlessly into my almond and fruit smoothies. I did not have clumping issues like most vegetable protein powders. No gritty texture either. The taste is neutral and did not overpower the fruity flavors of my smoothies.I will be replacing my pea protein powder with this, as I notice the pea powder has a gummy, chalky & glutinous flavor compared to this hemp powder.

Add Stevia and you've got a good tasting healthy shake.

So after going back and forth one trying to find a non-dairy option for a protein powder, I decided on the Hemp Pro 70 because it had the highest amount of protein for a plant based protein powder and it also came highly recommended from Trim Healthy Mama. It has 20 g of protein per serving. For some reason, I expected it have a mild taste. Granted -this is my first time trying anything other than a dairy protein powder and I don't have anything else to compare to, but I made my first shake with the Hemp Pro 70 with 1/2 serving of it to give it a go yesterday. Well, it tasted like wild grass (what I'd imagine wild grass would taste like). Luckily a friend who already uses Hemp Powder, recommended adding cocoa powder--which really helped to mellow the grassy taste. So right now, enjoying a second shake with the Hemp Pro 70 and also upped the protein serving to 3 TBS (working my way up to a full serving of 4 TBS). Really enjoying it and the grassy taste isn't overwhelming.I have now had several shakes with the Hemp Pro 70 and I'm used to it and I love my morning shake with it!Shake with Hemp Protein Powder1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk (can use almond milk or water)2 tsp of chia seeds--let sit to gel if you wish, then add remaining ingredients1 scoop of Hemp Pro 70 Powder (or less)2 TBS of cocoa powder1.5 tsp of THM Sweet Blend (use more if using truvia, probably around 4 packets) or sweetener of choice.1 cup or so (really whatever I can fit into my single serve blender) of your FROZEN berries of choice (frozen so you don't need any ice)Blend and Enjoy

Fair warning, this protein powder tastes nothing like the seeds!I purchased the product after comparing the serving size/price to hemp seeds that are marketed by the same brand.The seeds provide great protein,have a pleasant taste in oatmeal, smoothies etc.HOWEVER,this product was exactly the opposite. I'm not a novice to raw or natural products.I drink roughly 3 cups of matcha green tea daily no almond milk or sugar added.The protein powder doesn't have an herbal taste....it literally tastes like oregano. I tried the shake with almond milk and peanut butter and later with a banana as well.The oregano is extremely dominant. I've made multiple shakes with just hemp seeds no banana and loved it. It seems like a budget friendly protein powder and clearly has amazing nutrients but the taste is extremely odd.I noticed the balanced protein powder does not include oregano as a preservative so I'll probably try it next.UPDATE:I'm in love with the oregano!The taste actually becomes bearable after a week.Perhaps the oregano is less concentrated throughout the container. I mix 4 tbsp in 8oz of unsweetened almond milk and blend roughly 30 seconds.No bloating, gas and amazing recovery after resistance exercise!

Bought for my husband. I use very little mixed into dough while baking bread. He also uses it sometimes in his coffee.
