Nutiva Organic, Cold-Processed Hemp Protein from non-GMO, Sustainably Farmed Canadian Hempseed, 15 G, 30-ounce

I have been using this hemp protein powder for years. It is simply organic hemp protein, with nothing added, so it has a somewhat grassy type taste. Unlike typical protein powders that have sweeteners and other added ingredients, which make it so the average person will enjoy the sweet flavored taste, this is a basic pure plant protein for those who want absolute purity, and are not concerned about how it tastes. I read on Amazon reviews about protein powders how this or that product tastes terrible ... well, if a person buys a protein supplement for taste, okay, this one does fall short for most folks, but for someone who believes that the health benefits are the most important, then this hemp organic protein is just the ticket. It does not taste bad at all, just somewhat grassy because it is a plant and it is pure. This hemp protein works perfectly for including in other foods, such as oatmeal or granola, as it does not mix readily with liquids (requires repeated stirring if using as a drink enhancer). It is also perfect for those who wish to make a vegan "meatloaf" type dinner, used as a base source for organic plant-based protein. I am a vegan bodybuilder, and the quality of a product is of prime importance always. This hemp protein comes in 3 lb. bags, which I prefer over large plastic jars for end-use disposal (where I live, the large plastic protein jars are not recyclable, so go into landfills). For folks who are more concerned with health than a flavor treat, this is an excellent product! The value for money paid is quite high compared to many comparable protein powders.

Slightly grainy when added to smoothie. Smooth grind and mild nutty flavor. The cold press keeps the taste light and herbal. Good price and product.

As someone who has not eaten meat since I was just out of college but who is very proud to say my age (47) because my diet ensures I don't quite age as quickly as my body thinks I should; I look for foods that keep me young, healthy, full of energy and fight off things I don't want. As a natural foods chef, my goal in everything I eat is to make it gourmet, but make it work FOR me rather than against me as far as health, weight gain, aging, and energy. Hemp protein is a powerhouse of protein and nutrition and is so very easily consumed because it can simply be added to things you already eat. Fantastic, for example, in your morning smoothies. And you can sneak it in on your spouse or kids without them even knowing they are consuming something healthy...even in, for example, a milkshake they ask you to make. Hey, at least it adds SOME nutritional benefit. But stir it in applesauce or yogurt and you get even more. Here's a breakdown of what hemp can do for you: Heart Health and Lowered Blood Pressure: Clinical studies indicate that hemp products reduce inflammation and improve circulation, factors of primary importance in the cure and prevention of many diseases. My own improved within 2 months of daily use in my smoothies without any other changes. Improved Digestion: Have been shown to assist in chronic digestive issues. Because many today are on gluten-free diets, they may not get the fiber they need daily through their diet. Hemp can assist in added fiber to the diet, along with the added protein and other benefits it naturally offers. Losing Weight Naturally: Hemp seeds make all meals more filling and have been shown to reduce cravings for sugar and starches. A double whammy. Increased Energy: Natural energy without stimulants such as sugar or caffeine. Healthy Cholesterol Levels: Hemp protein is cholesterol free, but contains the optimum ratio of the polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, Omega 3 and 6 - hemp oil contains 57% linoleic (LA) and 19% linolenic (LNA) acids. When added to the diet, in a whole, natural and a cold processed food, like hemp protein improves cholesterol profiles. Hemp oil also contains some GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) that is absent from the fats we normally eat, but considered to be beneficial to health by nutritional experts. A Natural Way to Control Blood Sugars: The first steps in naturally balancing blood sugars is to introduce a high quality lean protein in your diet - the glucagon released when you eat protein helps keep insulin in check, then incorporate essential fatty acids, both of which are within the hemp seed. By avoiding refined carbohydrates - sugars and starches, in favour of high fibre vegetable and whole grain foods, you can naturally not only control your blood sugar, but reduce cravings because of it. Diabetics especially, report that circulation improves.

The benefits of using hemp protein are obvious. I don't have to tell you about all the amino acids, "complete" proteins, and the fact that this is healthy when used properly, right? That's in the product description, and you searched this item for a reason. So let's move on. I use this in conjunction with other protein powders so that I don't get the same thing all the time. This one is great in some applications, less so in others. Texture: It isn't as smooth as some proteins, like a grass-fed collagen. It's a little gritty in a smoothie, similar to using a little too much cocoa powder or similar. Like the bottom of a glass of chocolate milk made with powder, if you haven't been dieting too long to remember what that's like! It's not enough that I have to "choke it down", just enough that I definitely notice. Flavor: This is not flavorless. It's quite... dark green in flavor. I know, that's a color, but this has a flavor that just seems "hempy". Not "pothead", mind you - that's a very different thing. But a little bit on the ropey side of your regular dark green veggie powders. BUT, it is very easily covered by flavors generally used in smoothies - banana, date, cacao powder, berries. The only thing I did not like with this was almond butter. That did not work for me when mixed with the hemp protein. Everything else has tasted just fine, though I have not tried this with citrus flavors and am not sure I'd want to try. But maybe. Color: Dark green. There's no really getting around that. It does not look pretty in a smoothie. In fact, it can be pretty much less than appetizing if you look at it and think about it too much. Just like the first time you added any other greens. This is just another healthy step that doesn't look so hot. Put your smoothie in a travel mug with a lid, if you must. It's worth it for the benefits. The Nutiva brand is one of the better hemp protein powders I've tried. Others have been far more gritty and/or had other issues. When I need more, this is what I'm likely to order.

低血糖症で、夜間の低血糖対策に、ココナッツバター大さじ1と一緒に毎晩寝る前に愛飲しています。 乳製品と豆類アレルギーの為、他のプロテインは飲めないので大変助かります。 粒子は他のヘンププロテインに比べ荒めですが、そのぶんマドラーで混ぜるだけで簡単に飲めます。 食物繊維が寝ている間にきいて翌朝のお通じも毎日良好です。 沢山入っているので、毎日大さじ3杯飲んでも1袋で1ヶ月半ほど持ちます。 ただ一つ難点は価格。 私にとっては生きる為にどうしても必要なもの。 アメリカでは大変格安で手に入るようなので、日本のヘンプ製品に対する制度改正を望みます。
