Review: Good,protein dense vegan protein - I need to make the protein in my diet count because I don't eat a lot of food or pick at food all through the day. Hemp protein is one of my main protein sources. I generally have this once a day,in a larger-than-single-serving of hot Old Fashioned Oats oatmeal. Some people prefer it in smoothies but to me smoothies are generally on the sweet side,more like a dessert than something that tastes like regular food. I rarely,if ever,crave anything sweet. Passing on a fast,wholesome,high protein oatmeal recipe. It won't win a beauty contest but it tastes good,is nutritious and hits the spot as a filling,"sticks to the ribs"one bowl snack,meal,or light meal,depending on how much you make for yourself. The serving of oatmeal I typically make is,without measuring anything,somewhere between one and a half and just under two servings. I use water and Old Fashioned Oats,brought to a boil(in a Correlle bowl in the microwave. Correlle has NO LEAD in it. Lead is a concern in plates,dishes etc. Lead is a toxic heavy metal). I add about a measuring-spoon-teaspoon of extra virgin coconut oil to the very hot oatmeal(usually just the tip-half of the teaspoon I'm going to eat with,coated with coconut oil,which is solid at all but hot, or very warm,room temperature. It is liquefied in warmer temperatures). I bury the spoon with the coconut oil in the middle of the hot oatmeal. It gives it a nice buttery flavor. Then I sprinkle on turbinado sugar(made by Sugar In The Raw,I get it by the 2 pound box size,that you can find at an affordable price at Walmart). Then I sprinkle cinnamon over that. Then I add between one and two tablespoons of hemp protein. I pour UNSWEETENED organic soy milk over that. (Unflavored also. I mean "original flavor". Vanilla soy milk and vanilla flavored anything,to me is just yucky. Vanilla is NOT the thing to buy if you're not familiar with using soy milk. Maybe it's good to some people. I don't like it at all though). And I top all of that with a few twists of sea salt from a salt-mill or salt grinder(I buy coarse ground sea salt,which I put in a salt-mill. Like a pepper mill,but for salt). I find it works out much better if it turns out soupy,not thick and pasty. Meaning making a more watery as opposed to thick,pasty oatmeal,and adding enough soy milk(or almond milk or whatever you prefer as a vegan milk),so the final result is more of a soupy oatmeal. And the tiny amount of coconut oil makes a big difference. You don't really need it,but it harmonizes the flavors. It is actually very tasty. But I think your results will be disappointing if you end up with a thick,gloppy bowl of stuff with powdery piles of hemp protein. I think I'd pass on that,myself(my first bowl of this that I got the idea for,and made,was very much like the disaster I just warned you about. Thick and gloppy with piles of powdery hemp protein. I later developed the very acceptable and edible version,which is the best way to make it)It's sweet-salty tasty and nutritious. And can also be a very healthy replacement for those sweet salty high-calorie-no-nutrition snacks. This particular hemp protein doesn't really have much of a flavor or a taste to it. Just pointing that out because you're using it for the protein content,not the flavor. The hemp protein with fiber has more of a nutty flavor. My other main protein source is brewer's yeast. I don't recommend putting it in oatmeal though. (!!). A fast easy high protein one dish meal I make every day is cooked pasta(which has NO mention of containing traces of EGG in it. Usually pasta from Italy is not made cross contaminated with egg pasta or noodle products);cooked pasta added to a concoction of hot water(enough water to make a sort of paste or "gravy" with the other ingredients added to it,so it coats the pasta nicely without being too powdery or watery according to the amount of pasta you're making. I make one serving. But you would adjust the amounts up,to more quantity,if you were making it for a family meal or to have on hand for a few days,ready - made and kept refrigerated) );hot water(to dissolve the spices in),onion powder,garlic powder,sea salt,olive oil,Old Bay Seasoning and about 2 to 3 tablespoons of brewer's yeast(price-shop to compare. The stuff that is fairly expensive is not all there is. There are affordable brewer's yeast brands/package sizes available). The cooked pasta is stirred into that. You have to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. Brewer's yeast has a cheesy taste,but usually you need to doctor-it-up with other spices,like I do,to make it tasty. This is my typical first meal of the day that I take with all the supplements I take (vitamins,minerals,antioxidants, phytonutrients,joint support and "ladies past 40" female support supplements like soy isoflavones and evening primrose oil). I take supplements because I couldn't eat all of the food you'd need to eat to get all the things your body needs. I'm not sure anyone could. Plus they say the food we have today doesn't have the same nutritional value it did 20 years ago. Probably due to the fast growing and chemical processes,fertilizer etc,used in industrialized growing/food production. Vegan-bashers have said a vegan diet must not be good if you need all of those supplements. But non-vegan diets are bad because of the high calories and cholesterol. And people using non-vegan diets aren't getting all the vitamins,minerals and nutrients they need either,if they don't take supplements. Not to mention things you might need specific to your own body,like joint support,female support,prostate support,thyroid support;there are even foods and supplements people with hyperthyroid(overactive thyroid)can benefit from. I have hypothyroid(underactive thyroid)myself. But,according to my test results,which aren't always accurate anyway, my thyroid is not underactive enough that I should have a prescription. I was tested in 1999 and haven't gone to a doctor for that or any other reason,since. I haven't been to a doctor since 1984. But I keep myself healthy,have treated anything I might get(like I can use Echinacea Angustfolia Root for,the rare cold/respiratory infection type of thing)and I was lacto-vegan from 1989 to 2009 and have been vegan since 2009. Your diet does affect if you get sick,and how bad it is,when you Do get sick. An alkaline food diet allows your body and immune system to function normally. The typical western diet is high in acid-producing foods,which hinder your natural ability to remain healthy on a cell/biological/physiological level. All animal products are Acid Producing Foods(a google search of acid and alkaline food lists or books like The pH Miracle will give you some better and more thorough information on that. These things aren't in the mainstream or on the lips of your doctor because your doctor is given an education in finance management(their own finances) ,business management/accounting/book keeping,and how to prescribe drugs. Their training is all sickness-based. I found the more you avoid doctors,the better off you are. They're there for when you're SICK. "Healthcare" is a lie and a myth. YOU take care of maintaining your health. A doctor DOES NOT tell you how to maintain a healthy level of health. A doctor deals with whatever sickness or disease or "condition" of bad health,which is sickness,that you develop. (If you make this pasta recipe with the brewer's yeast and spices recipe that is written here,and stir in Tofu-Goo,a recipe in one of the 3 guides,all on vegan topics that are on my Vegan Virgo ftp profile here on desertcart,it tastes pretty good also. It reminds me of the tuna casserole (minus the tuna) that we used to have in school. (And tastes like the sauce from Tuna Helper,without the MSG. MSG adds a very sharp and almost biting effect of flavor to your taste buds. The recipe I have here with Tofu-Goo stirred in,is flavorful and tasty. MSG actually is a drug,affecting your brain and the taste sensations in the brain. It is not a spice,reacting with your tongue and taste-buds. Facts on MSG will also tell you it is addictive,making you crave and prefer foods treated with MSG,in example,if five dishes of the same food were made or five brands of the same food were made,and one or two contained MSG,and the others didn't,people would crave and prefer the MSG laden foods. MSG also causes cells in the brain to age or burn out or no longer function properly;the exact problem related to the brain cells "burning out" can be found in an online search for it. I don't remember the exact details of why MSG is bad in that respect. But MSG should be avoided. You could probably do several variations of this(he brewer's yeast/spices gravy or sauce here,plus Tofu-Goo),making vegan pot-pies,different pasta or rice dishes and scalloped potato dishes or vegetable casseroles. The combination definitely has tasty potential for meals that anyone would like)
Review: Nutiva Oreganic Hemp Protein Powder - I have been using this hemp protein powder for years. It is simply organic hemp protein, with nothing added, so it has a somewhat grassy type taste. Unlike typical protein powders that have sweeteners and other added ingredients, which make it so the average person will enjoy the sweet flavored taste, this is a basic pure plant protein for those who want absolute purity, and are not concerned about how it tastes. I read on desertcart reviews about protein powders how this or that product tastes terrible ... well, if a person buys a protein supplement for taste, okay, this one does fall short for most folks, but for someone who believes that the health benefits are the most important, then this hemp organic protein is just the ticket. It does not taste bad at all, just somewhat grassy because it is a plant and it is pure. This hemp protein works perfectly for including in other foods, such as oatmeal or granola, as it does not mix readily with liquids (requires repeated stirring if using as a drink enhancer). It is also perfect for those who wish to make a vegan "meatloaf" type dinner, used as a base source for organic plant-based protein. I am a vegan bodybuilder, and the quality of a product is of prime importance always. This hemp protein comes in 3 lb. bags, which I prefer over large plastic jars for end-use disposal (where I live, the large plastic protein jars are not recyclable, so go into landfills). For folks who are more concerned with health than a flavor treat, this is an excellent product! The value for money paid is quite high compared to many comparable protein powders.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a scooper?**
A: No scooper. I use a regular measuring spoon. I highly recommend Prepworks by Progressive Magnetic Measuring Spoons, Stainless Steel - Set of 5. We have had these for years. They still look new, they stay together and don't get lost plus you have 2 sides to each one. Comes in very handy when making your Smoothie or drink. I am Cacao powder etc. etc.. & blend with this Hemp. To me it is like a healthy shake.

**Q: can i just add this to water, instead of smoothies/food or is it hard to swallow?**
A: Yes you can. That is how I do it. It is a little gritty but it is better if you use more water.  I use 30 oz for 3 tbls.  By the way it taste nutty. I actually like the taste.

**Q: The hemp seeds, according to what I read, are made unviable to germinate and plant due to intentional use of heat to remove the viability of the seed. Because the government doesn't want hemp seeds to be planted. Does the company use heat to sterilize/make-not-viable the seeds prior to grounding them up?
If so, then t…**
A: Check out Nutiva's website. Their hemp seeds are cold processed below 104 degrees and then sifted to make the protein powder.

**Q: Is this item also gluten free?  I'm assuming it is, but didn't want to take any chances.**
A: This product isn't 100% GF.  I called the company and although there are NO gluten containing ingredients, the seeds could be slightly contaminated due to the winds.  They said it could have between 10 - 100 PPM.  I was REALLY bummed about this as I buy it and use it often.  No more or my Celiac son!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's like bread flavored.. Not in a bad way though :)
*by S***E on February 24, 2015*

I'm in love. It tastes like you are drinking bread.... That's the best description I can come up with. It's a light, nutty, yeasty flavor. Takes a little getting used to, but any powder does. It's not unpleasant, I'm not a big bread person - it's just a little different if you're not used to this powder. I really like that it doesn't have added ingredients or fake flavors. I frequently miss lunch, and miss bringing snacks to work too some days. I don't mean to, but I get "busy" with meetings and spreadsheets and travel. I was looking for a better solution than just constantly drinking coffee or hitting up a candybar for fuel. So I started playing around with different powders which were all awful until I found this one. I can't stand those powders with fake flavors (how many gross vanilla powders are out there just begging for your wasted money, seriously) I put a tablespoon of this in little vitamin baggies and slip a few into my laptop bag - that makes it very discreet and mobile to take to work, airports, road trips, etc. I pour a little pouch when I'm ready into my black sport style "Blender Bottle" with water. I fill up my bottle (typically with plain old drinking fountain water) BEFORE adding my pouch, give it a few quick shakes, then I sip it until lunch, or during meetings, or on my way to the plane - and it keeps me satisfied. It also helps me get past that "2pm slump" that we all often get when we go long days. So much better than a candy bar or donuts, etc. No crash, mixes well, no clumps - I usually drink about 1 tablespoon a day, for a few months now. I thought I would need to work my way up to 2 tbsp, but not really. 1 tbsp does me fine. I'm on my second container, so some days I have more than others I suppose. I bought my first one at Vitamin Shoppe and my second one on Amazon for A LOT cheaper. A few times I've added this to my green smoothies in the morning - a tablespoon or two doesn't hurt the taste for me at all. I usually skip adding it to smoothies now though because I use kefir instead, and just like to drink this powder by itself in between meals, whether I have a snack to go with or not. No weird unpleasant bowel side effects like others have claimed on some of their reviews - so either I don't use enough of it or I'm just not sensitive to this powder like they were.
