MJN Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 hemp powder taste like? I've always used whey, but trying to get away from dairy products. Any brand recommendations would be helpful also. TIA, Molly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacycatherine Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 My husband and I switched to hemp this year. We buy the Organic Nutiva powder in 3lb bags on Amazon. If you are used to Designer Whey or other sweetened drinks from the health food stores, it doesn't taste anything like that. However, when mixed with a scoop of raw honey, a glass of milk, and a serving of Amazing Grass chocolate supergreens, I think it makes a great breakfast. Sometimes I'll throw it in the blender with a banana and ice, then it's even better. The color is not great though! I've been told you only need to consume 1/2 the protein amount with hemp (15 grams hemp instead of 30 grams in a scoop of whey) because your body absorbs it so well. My husband lifts weights daily and I chase 6 kids around, we are busy and active and have both found this to be true. I would buy a little jar of it at whole foods and try it out, see what you think before making the switch. We have been very happy with it though!

Guest ksec Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Stacy pretty much nailed it. Hemp protein powder looks gross and the taste is off-putting. I add it to oatmeal, milkshakes, pancakes, soups, pretty much anything with strong flavour. Raw whey powder doesn't taste that great either, but it is bearable when mixed with milk or water. I've tried mixing hemp powder with milk and water, YUCK. All in all I love hemp protein though, super healthy stuff. I would avoid any whey powder that has flavour such as vanilla.

Slartibartfast Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It tastes ghastly I make soothies with strawberries, bananas, raw honey et. If you add a lot of other yummy tasting things to it then it isnt so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to buy a couple packets at your local health food store. I am very glad I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
