Bobs Red Mill Hemp Protein Powder, 16 Oz

I bought this protein powder recently and was so excited to try it. When I first attempted to mix this product it would not dissolve. I tried using room temperature water, cold and hot water and it still did nothing. I placed the drink in the fridge to rest and when I took it out all the water settled on the top and the powder was still at the bottom of the cup. It feels like sand. I tried it again today, just to give it a second chance. This time I attempted to blend a mango smoothie, I had the same issue. It tastes like dirt, it would not dissolve and the particles are so rough. I do not think that this product is healthy and I do not recommend that anyone purchase it.

This product taste great! It doesn't really have any flavor, so it can be easily blended into smoothies, shakes, and oatmeal. I eat it with my oatmeal every morning and it keeps me full for hours. It's a great protein powder to help you lose weight, while boosting your metabolism and providing you energy for the entire day. It's a great topping to add into your breakfast!

I'm 57 & got “the lecture” from my internist about cleaning up my diet after my latest lab work was perfect with the exception of my cholesterol. I've lost weight on my own (50+lb & I've kept it off for 5 years) so I thought “I've got this!” I've not been able to digest beef like I used to & I don't eat much else for protein (not a fan of chicken on a daily basis & fish…don't get me started!). Eggs & cheese she wants me to avoid—these were harder to decrease for me. That's when I remembered hemp! Hemp Hemp Hooray! I put a scoop in my oatmeal & it works well! Great wake to work a bit more protein in. My husband will allow me to make him fruit smoothies, & I find I can sneak in extra protein & nutrition with hemp protein without him noticing a difference in flavor (we are trying to increase his clean protein as he's recovering from chemotherapy & we don't want him to lose muscle). I've previously used hemp seed in my yogurt & on salads, but had not tried the powder. I'm grateful for options, Bob's!

Well, I'm having a hard time drinking it in the drink I mix up. I am mixing orange juice, pineapple juice, and almond milk with a 1/4 cup of the powder in a blender. But when I try to drink it, the powder drops right to the bottom. I keep stirring it really quick, but it drops to the bottom faster than I can stir!

I've tried other hemp protein powders and they don't compare to Bob's Red Mill. Don't buy Hemp Yeah! save your money because I threw it out and bough a 4pack of Bob's Red Mill instead. It's gritty but it tastes so much better then other hemp powders. It doesn't taste earthy at all. It's good with just almond milk and a banana but if you want to step it up I got a good smoothie recipe. Frozen Banana, Raspberries, Almond Milk, Greek Yogurt, Bob's Red Mill Oats, and Bob's Red Mill Hemp Protein. Yummy breakfast that keep you full!
