    Hi guys

    Just wondering has anyone taken some hemp protein for a period of time and if so what are your feelings on taking it?
    It's a little hard to mix but I just like the idea of getting some extra protein into the diet!

    Any ideas or receipes for smoothies ?

    I'm a fan of Whey Protein but I still haven't found one that tastes decently enough

    No reason whatsoever just giving it a go as it was cheap, not the biggest fan of whey protein as i find it isn't easy on the stomach

    The ones from Holland & Barrett, GNC, Six Star Pro Nutricion.. I've heard that Optimum Nutrition is the best one but haven't tried it yet.

    Have had ON and I liked their vanilla. But there's a big 'because it's ON' tax added to the cost.

    MyProtein do exactly the same product for a fraction of the cost and far better value

    What about the taste of MyProtein? Why is ON so expensive anyway??

    I liked the taste. I certianly wasn't a case of it not being as nice but being better value so I persevered. I like it...always vanilla. It's not to others tastes though. Some find it sweet.

    They pitched it high and people bought it so they didn't bring it down. There are a lot of people that don't know the less expensive alternatives are just as good so they go with ON.

    I add it to scrambled eggs / omelette sometimes ;)
    It just doesn't taste too well on its own.

    It is also quite expensive per gram of protein (even from MyProtein).
