2.0 out of 5 stars great for the colon, not so great for your taste buds..., May 6, 2007

the fiber content of this "powder" is amazing but the the taste and texture are almost unbearable. while hemp is not going to taste as good (by good taste-i mean an absence of taste) as soy or whey, it should at least be better than this.

my gripes:
texture- this product should not be called a powder at all. it's more like the contents of a tea bag. the product should be more finely ground.
taste- this hemp has a stronger taste than other brands i have tried. i haven't found anything that really goes well with the "earthy" taste.

the good news:
fiber-i believe one serving provides 54% of the DV. that's 2-4 times as much as other hemp powders. this is why i gave this product 2 stars instead of one.

the good news about all hemp:
it's not highly processed like whey, soy, rice or other protein powders.

it's organic. most hemp powders are organic because hemp is naturally resistant to pests. ever wonder why you never see organic soy protein? hexane. this is the chemical (similar to gasoline) that must be used to isolate the protein from the bean.

it's raw. yay!

other brands:
i have tried nutiva, ruth's and living harvest. i currently use and recommend living harvest. it has the best consistency and taste. ruth's contains slightly more vitamins than living harvest but has a slightly stronger taste. nutiva is by far the worst with the strongest taste, grainiest texture and least vitamins.

i find that the best recipe for a hemp smoothie is just a frozen ripe banana (use one with lot's of brown freckles-it may be a little gooey going into the freezer but as with banana bread, those bananas have the best taste), 2-3 drops of vanilla extract, some soy or almond milk and a scoop of hemp. hemp doesn't really seem to agree with berries or non-creamy fruits.

bottom line-unless fiber is your #1 concern, go with another brand.

5.0 out of 5 stars great product and keeps the body happy, June 7, 2007

I use this product everyday and I have continued to buy it since I discovered it. I put it with rice milk, or with fruit in a smoothie, etc. If you just put it in water and drink it, then yes it is grainy. I don't do that and don't recommend such. It really helps to balance the blood sugar and keep the body happy. It is satisfying in keeping the appetite down. It keeps my lower tract running well. It is high protein and has carb balance as well. Be sure to add it with something to avoid the gritty taste. It wasn't designed to be drank with just water though a person could do it. I've tried the more expensive Nutiva blends that have flavors added and they are great. Nutiva does a good job in producing healthy products. This particular hemp protein powder is effective and it is the cheapest among the hemp protein lines so I just add my own fruit, maca, etc. If you want to stay economical and add your own blend to it then you have a program that works great. If you want a sweeter taste then buy the other types of Nutiva hemp as they have several great flavors. I highly recommend Nutiva hemp.

Have you ever described a food as tasting "healthy" when you mean it tastes so bad it must be good for you? Fear not! It is pleasantly adaptable to use with any fruit on hand. I honestly will say, though, that it does have an earthy quality. It may take the uninitiated some getting acquainted with--just a little! If trying for the first time, I heartily recommend trying the Hemp Goddess Supreme recipe on the jar's label. Surprisingly palatable! You'll be proud to have done something nourishing and healthy for yourself. Easy to digest. The powder is indeed rather coarse. When you find it'll tide you over very well until your next meal, you won't mind. Including this in one's eating habits can only be an addition for the positive.
