Hemp Yeah! Max Fiber Protein Powder

I'm no athelete, but I am a middle school teacher so I need to keep going in 8 directions at once all day. I was looking for a way to get some more healthy protein in my diet but all the protein powders at the store are made of whey, which is made from milk, probably industrial mad cow milk, which is hard to digest. Or I could eat some hormone addled meat, but who can eat meat all the time, and who can afford organic meat? So for about $20 you get 15 servings of high quality protein and it's both digestible and extremely nutritious. I had it sent to my work address. 'Is it good?', asked the office manager. 'Nah it tastes like dirt, but its super good for you.' Just kidding! Well, OK, it does taste like brown plant powder, but i made it into a simple blender shake: hemp, chocolate almond milk, a banana. Boom! Tastes awesome. Perfect for breakfast or lunch. Oh and I have celiac disease, so this is such a great product for someone who needs to have a lot of high quality amino acids and who does not absorb their nutrients all that efficiently. I've probably bought 5 canisters in the past 3 months. Plus the hemp pro 50 has a lotta fiber. Go for it!!!

I contemplated choosing between like it and love it because at first it is a chore to take it at the right time of day, and having it available whenever a person eats. I do not take all four tablespoons at one time because I did not want to bulk up one section of my stomach. I've purchased this multiple times and figured out I can fit two tablespoons in the dinky tupperware type containers to keep with me. I usually mix it in with six ounces of water, milk, or a mix of water and pineapple juice at every main meal. It depends on what else I've eaten during the day when deciding how many tablespoons I take. It is my understand that the majority of the Hemp Pro Fiber is over 80 percent insoluble, meaning, it isn't digested rather it grabs waste to remove it more effectively from the body. That is why I take it with my meals. The lower than twenty percent portion is soluble fiber that attracts water, slows digestion, makes me feel full. I believe this amount of soluble fiber is enough to get the recommended ratio of soluble and insoluble fiber if taken as nature intended, throughout the day- and with spaced meals and adequate fluids. I do like that aspect of it very much. I've grown to like the flavor by switching up what I mix with it. I used to mix it in with smoothies until I realized it seems more beneficial to take it with meals that need to be purged quickly, like fatty foods that have high cholesterol or high saturated fat. I can not say for certain but this fiber supplement was part of my intake regiment, along with less than 18 saturated fat, walking three miles three times a week, and my cholesterol dropped 150 points-and my triglycerides dropped 400- within a month, bringing it back to normal. So, I do love it even though I had to get used to taking it.

I'm not a health nut, but I'm trying to improve in small ways. I bought this so I could easily get more fiber in my diet. Fiber has been shown to improve gut health by feeding the good gut bacteria. People that consume more fiber have a thicker mucuous layer in their intenstines. This helps protect you from inflammation, immune responses, and from damage to the intestinal wall. Anyhoo, the product came on time, it had 2 protective seals, and has a clear "made by"/"best by" date. The powder is dark green and fine. It has a slight nutty taste... slightly like cashew? The taste did not bother me. I put it in my vanilla soymilk. It says you can bake with it but I haven't tried yet. I like that it has protein, so I can feel full in the morning or for a night snack.

This hemp powder is really good when it comes to flavor. It has that rich earthy, green scent and flavor I would expect. The only thing that kept it from 5 stars was the fact that it has a somewhat gritty texture which is noticeable when mixed with smoothies or hot cereals. It doesn't bother me too much, but some people might not like the grit. I've used other hemp powders which were more smooth and really not detectable in oatmeal or wheat cereal. Still, this company appears to work ethically and with an eye toward environmental preservation. They use 100% wind-generated energy in their facility and their packaging is recyclable. I do prefer to give my money to companies which are forward-thinking like that. So I would definitely be inclined to order from their product line again.

When I discovered this plant protein, I asked myself “should I try this?” The answer: “Hemp Yeah!” This plant protein powder has a very fine quality that makes it is easy to use; mix it directly in your favorite drink or add it to your solid smoothie mix before you liquify it. Hemp Yeah! Max Fiber Protein Powder has a light herbal smell and it contains 1 simple ingredient: Organic Hemp Powder. The fiber content of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Protein Powder makes digestibility a breeze if you have a sensitive tummy.
