"Got this about a week ago and the first mix was awful as I had just mixed it straight with water, I then realized a bit of imagination was required, so tried some frozen berries( get at your local supermarket) a banana, fruit juice and a bit of honey and its fantastic. Has quite a nuttyish taste which i like. Have been mixing it with the finely ground oats carbohydrate too and its pretty good. Maybe not for someone who wants a shake in 10 seconds, but fantastic otherwise. Would really recommend it!"

"I bought 1kg just for 'try out', I did York Test and realised i was allergic to milk, soya, and eggs. So there went my workout routine out the window. I figured either rice protein or hemp from now. Rice was out of stock so I tried this. \n\nIts not too bad really. One thing though, this thing does not mix. It merely floats inside and around liquid. It does not dissolve into liquid like whey does. So when you drink it , it feels like you're drinking 'grinded hemp seeds' with water. There is always usually about 10% of it left as sediment at the bottom of the cup. And when you're done with it, you can continue to bite and chew the little bits of seeds that's left in your mouth. mmm.. :)\n\nCan you make cookies with it? Sure. Is it the ideal protein? Probably not. Not anywhere as close to WPI. \nBut if you have allergy problems like me, you could get used to it, might work. Has half the biological value compared to WPI. So I probably have to drink twice as much to get the same results. And i'm sure you noticed...) it also costs twice as much too! So you do the math :)\n"

"After experimenting I've found that sweetened and flavoured with chocolate it has a taste akin to peanuts.\nAnd whereas the texture is indeed gritty/floury it's much easier on the palate than pea, *anything* is better than rice protein and yes, soya is the tastiest but it's still up in the air as to it's detrimental effects on your health. \nIt's expensive but worth it IMO - plus myprotein have it way, way cheaper than anywhere else I've seen.\n"

"I cant understand some of the poor reviews for this product though I suppose were all different. I have used this powder with rice milk and a banana put through the blender and it tastes great! Banana is perfect for giving it a sweet taste and thickening it up which helps it go down. I much prefer this to the soya or pea protein powders I have tried in the past. Were always hearing about how delicious things are and they rarely live up their descriptions. Hemp is certainly one of those products, but I find this one great, really very tasty if prepared as above and I found that I felt much better when training and using hemp protein. Cant understand the gritty description but as I said, were all different and entitled to our opinions. I felt I had to write this as I thought some of the other reviews were a bit too harsh. I would definitely recommend this product, just buy a small quantity at first to make sure your ok with it."

"I TRIED THIS HEMP\r\n\r\nI WOULD NOT ADVISE THIS FOR SHAKES, ITS ONLY IDEAL FOR BAKING CAKES OR COOKIES OR MEDICINAL USE\r\n\r\nVERY STRONG TASTE AND VERY GRITTY\r\n\r\nIF GOING TO USE AS SHAKE TRY USING ONLY SMALL AMOUNT TO GET ITS NUTRIENTS/PROTIEN HEALTH BENEFITS\r\n\r\nIT WILL INFLAME YOUR THROUGHT GIVING YOU SORE THROUGHT AND SO NEEDS TO BE MIXED WITH EITHER A TABLE SPOON OF HONEY OR MOLASSES IF MAKING SHAKES\r\n\r\nI JUST WISH MYPROTIEN WOULD GET SOME BUFFALO MILK POWDER IN STOCK AS BUFFALO MILK IS VERY EASILY DIGESTED WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS OF COWS MILK. BUFFALO MILK IS THE HEALTHIEST OF ALL MILK. I THINK TESCOS ARE SELLING BUFFALOS MILK BUT ONLY IN LIQUID. I HOPE MYPROTIEN SOURCES BUFALO MILK POWDERT BY ASKING TESCOS WHERE TO GET BUFFALO MILK FROM\r\n\r\n"

"I was told by a trainer at the gym to get Hemp protein because its biologically 'alive' as opposed to Whey protein which is highly processed and 'dead' and so doesn't digest in the way it should. Whether that's true or not, I am lactose intolerant so need dairy free protein, plus have slight IBS making whey protein not the best option. I thought I would give it a go, and I would say that despite the 'gritty' texture, it tasted fine with the chocolate flavour and sweetner. It also totally agreed with my stomach and I had no ill effects. It loses a star because of the grittiness and the expense, but otherwise I'm very pleased!"

"Doesn't mix well in shakes (as others have said) - however, makes absolutely stunning brownies/cookies etc. You can pile it in and it actually adds to the taste (kinda nutty). High protein veggy/vegan bars have never tasted so good! Would buy it by the truck load if it wasn't for the high £££ :("

"Nutritionally, hemp seed is more like a (v. healthy) mrp, with moderate amounts of low gi carbs and efa's as well. For me, this was good, because in my custom formula it meant i could knock out other ingredients, like some of the oats and flax i normally have, making the overall formula cheaper. Taste is ok, but texture is pretty gritty, and you have to keep shaking the formula up once fluid is added, otherwise it seperates pretty quick."

"I've been looking for an Organic Hemp Protein for ages, so was thrilled to find someone stocking it. I ordered a custom 2Kg tub of 35% Maltodextrin, 25% Dextrose, 35% Hemp the same formula as I normally get but with Hemp instead of Soy Protein Isolate.\r\n\r\nI should really have NOT ordered 2Kgs of this without trying a smaller amount first. The Hemp doesn't really disolve and results in a grotty shake that seperates really quickly. It also doesn't go thick like the Soy protein and the taste is very strong, the banana flavouring didn't cover it at all.\r\n\r\nI'll definataly get it again, but just not in such a high percentage. Just be aware that it doesn't really disolve and has a strong taste..."

"The discription sounded to good to be true and it was, about the \""delicious\"" flavour anyway! The awful flavour is just too strong to cover up. Glad I only ordered 0.5kgs! Not happy."
