5.0 out of 5 stars Love the clean ingredients

e. · April 7, 2024

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Protein! Really enjoying!

O. · February 8, 2015

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Best protein in the universe.

I've been waiting for a finer ground, easily dissolved, low fiber hemp protein for years and it's finally here. This is the only protein powder that does not trash my digestive system. It's earthy, yet creamy flavor adapts to just about anything you mix it with.I'm not a nutritionist, so I'm not going to be like everyone else on the internet and write as if I am. However, it's said that hemp protein has the most ideal proportions of amino acids for the human body. Also, it's a plant protein, which is awesome because that's gotta be way healthier than getting it from mammal parts, right?ProTip: This protein contains a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. Since it's said (by nutritionists) that it's best to keep this balanced in favor of omega-3, I recommend you incorporate a tablespoon of flax seed oil for every scoop of this protein. This will balance out the fats and five you whatever benefits that gives you.Since this is my single top favorite product on all of Bolo, I'll add my basic recipe that I alter frequently. It's a smoothie that gives you biologically available nutrients at a balanced ph while not causing problems with stomach acid or containing migraine triggers (and tasting good at the same time) here we go:juice apple and carrotpour 1.5 cups apple carrot juice into blenderadd a few chunks freshly peeled aloe meat2 tablespoon flax seed oilspirulina or other healthy algae powderacai powderweigh out two servings (60 grams) hemp proteinturn on blenderadd protein bit by bittake a probiotic and drink your smoothiefeel really goodrepeat daily, altering raw fruit ingredients

4.0 out of 5 stars Entirely too much oregano

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!
