Hemp protein

kingcharles82

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 ?

Any reason for hemp in particular?

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).

Using Pulsin and now got Nua.
Pulsin brown rice and soy are also nice
Whey just doesn't work for me
