Review on 🌱 Nutiva Organic Hemp Seed Protein Powder, 16 Ounce - Cold-Pressed, Raw & Peak Protein, USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Whole 30 Approved, Vegan, Gluten-Free & Keto, Plant Protein with Essential Amino Acids by Smokeythecryptkeeper Kaewchay

The benefits of using hemp protein are obvious. I don't have to tell you all the amino acids, "complete" proteins and how useful they are when used correctly, do I? This is stated in the product description and you were looking for this product for a reason. So let's move on. I use this in combination with other protein powders so I don't always end up with the same thing. For some applications it's good, for others it's not. Texture: It is not as smooth as some proteins, such as B. grass-fed collagen. It's a bit grainy in a smoothie, like you used too much cocoa powder or something. Like the bottom of a glass of powdered chocolate milk if you haven't been on a diet too long to remember what it's like! It's not enough that I have to "choke", it's enough that I definitely notice it. Taste: It is not tasteless. it's pretty dark green in taste. I know it's a color, but it has a "hemp" flavor. Not "hunchbacked", mind you - it's quite different. But a little on the side of your regular dark green veggie powders. BUT, it gets overpowered very easily by the flavors commonly used in smoothies - banana, dates, cocoa powder, berries. The only thing I didn't like was the almond oil. It didn't work for me when mixed with hemp protein. Everything else tastes just fine, although I haven't tried that with citrus flavors and I'm not sure I'd want to try it. But possibly color: dark green. There is really no way around it. It doesn't look good in smoothies. In fact, it can be a lot less than appetizing if you look at it and think about it too much. Just like the first time you added other greens. It's just another healthy move that doesn't look so hot. If desired, transfer the smoothie to a travel mug with a lid. It's worth it for the benefits. The Nutiva brand is one of the best hemp protein powders I've tried. Others were much tougher and/or had different problems. If I need more, I will most likely order this one.
