Papadoc :
Let's get this out of the way. For those who don't really know what hemp is, you may as well say you've got a big bag of pulverized rope. It's fiber and protein, nothing more, nothing less.
For those thinking they are going to really dig the flavor on this, nope! It's rope! Rope pushes crap through your body, leaves some protein behind, and that's what it does for you. It isn't blueberries, and it isn't sweet and tasty. Negative reviews because something that isn't supposed to taste great doesn't taste great is kind of like leaving negative reviews on matches because they catch fire. So much for my rant on people who complain that a product is what the product is supposed to be.
With that said, this product is everything hemp should be, and there's a lot of it. It's ground to a very fine consistency so it stays suspended in pretty thin liquids. While hemp isn't supposed to taste good, it could taste worse, and this tastes pretty decent for hemp. It's a bit grassy, but that's what hemp is. Mix it with your avocado, a banana, some spinach, and some stevia, and you won't taste the hemp.
You will still feel it in your mouth though, so don't get too excited. Learn not to try to chew your smoothies and this won't bother you so much though. It's fine enough that it doesn't leave much for residue in your mouth or between your teeth like some other brands do. Add a little more liquid than you would otherwise, because this stuff does dry out your smoothie a bit.
You will also stay less hungry for longer periods of time. I also add some chia seed, hemp seed, and some almonds for a full day of protein and something that stays with you just fine till your next meal.
Hemp will clean you out, and the size of your poops will drastically increase as it cleans out all the stuff that lags behind in your colon. You'll feel better and your body will process other foods and nutrients much better, which is particularly good if you are also detoxing at the same time. Your detox will dump it out of your cells into your colon and hemp fiber moves it right out to where it belongs.... flushed!
Chandler:
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.
If you're like me and can't stand even the slightest taste of protein/whey, this product is going to be your protein life saver! I've tried so many different protein powders and this is the best hands down. Plus it has added benefits as well. I just put one or two scoops into my blender with a frozen banana and some almond milk and it becomes a delicious green smoothie. It doesn't really add any taste, just a grittier texture. This does not bother me since I don't chew my smoothies as I drink. Can't say enough good things about this powder.
I have been purchasing the Nutiva Hemp Protein for almost a year. I was always happy with the product, and it's one of the better tasting products when you have numerous allergies and are very limited in ingredients. On my last purchase, the first package I opened tasted so foul it was undrinkable. I was able to get a replacement because I happened to open it a few days before the 30 day window to get a replacement had passed. The second package was fine, but the third and fourth packages were undrinkable like the first. I noticed that they recently redesigned the packaging for the 30oz size. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the horrible taste of the product lately, but I will not be buying the product again. It is far too expensive, and if you buy in bulk you will not figure out there is a problem until it's too late. Find another brand!
