This hemp powder is AWESOME, and it’s a regular on my grocery list. A large amount of people in the U.S. are deficient in magnesium + iron, especially young women of childbearing age and those who don’t eat enough dark, leafy greens (crucial for adequate magnesium consumption). This hemp powder has 40% of your DV for iron and 60% of your DV for magnesium. I use this to combat my anemic tendencies as a buffer in those times when I probably don’t eat enough salads with dark, leafy greens (I’m a busy mom of two under 6, expecting little bambino #3, & a college student, so I’d say often? I’m last on my list too frequently). I add a ton of this to my “famous” cinnamon-hemp-chocolate chip pancakes (famous, as in my notoriously picky eater children will ask for 2nds and 3rds of these & my anti-hippie family loves these, after initially getting over the fact that they have hemp in them - insert eye roll). These are seriously the *only* pancakes I can eat without the dreaded blood sugar crash within the hour. They keep me satiated until lunch and my kids love them too (they call them “green hulk pancakes”). I make them with whole grain pancake mix to make my life easier, a ton of hemp powder + cinnamon, two small handfuls of choco chips, and grease the pan with a little coconut oil each round of pancakes. I top with Earth Balance soy-free butter spread and a very minimal drizzle of organic blue agave syrup, a low glycemic index food, so you get the benefit of syrup on your pancakes, but no sugar crash. Honestly though, they taste amazing plain and half the time that’s just how I eat them. I have also put this hemp powder in pumpkin bread, and nobody noticed (hehe). I’d recommend avoiding light, fruity smoothies with this, maybe sticking with thicker choco/PB/banana smoothies or replacing a portion of flour in baked goods with this hemp powder. Seriously so good. Just try it!

I've only been using this a couple of weeks. I mix 2 tablespoons of this and 1scoop of Nature's Bounty Vanilla protein powder into a large glass with about 8-10 ounces of vanilla almond milk. Tastes okay. I have noticed that if I drink this every morning that it helps with IBS. The couple of times that I skipped it, my tummy was back to it's old problems the next day.

I use this with my son for his blended diet. He is strictly G Tube fed and this works as a great substitute for meat protein. He can't tolerate a lot of food so this works well because it has high protein but low volume. Its a necessity for us in his diet to make sure he is getting all the nutrients he needs.

If you feel sluggish and get tired throughout the day. This is a MUST BUY! I make a shake every morning and don't get sluggish any more just by making this simple shake. I was a HUGE coffee drinker and always felt tired, not anymore! I stopped the coffee, bought a blender and my shake every morning keeps the blaas away! add a cup of Kale because its rich in Vitamin C, 1/2 cup of Spinach is packed with iron and beta-carotene, and fiber, 1 Banana, Strawberries, Blueberries, this little fruit softens dry skin, boosts your brain, and may even prevent cancer (Im all in for that!) 1 TSP of Hemp Powder, 1 TSP Maca Powder. I some times add 1 TSP of Peanut Butter, just because I love Peanut Butter and 1 TSP of Honey. You can add ice water or Almond Milk and Voila!

So getting back in shape calls for tearing down muscle and rebuilding it with protein. The only problem is that whey, and plant protein gave such gas and gastro problems. NOT WITH THIS, the taste is amazing and goes perfectly in smoothies with coconut milk, berries, bananas and peanut butter. Thank you so much for a BETTER alternative to whey.

This is a natural vegan protein powder filled with vitamins and nutrients. I definitely recommend this because it's so good for you. The downside is that it does have a very strong unpleasant taste. With that being said, you can easily mask the flavor with other strong flavors. I use it in mine and my son's smoothie bowls that we make every morning. We're easily able to cover up the taste with fruits that we use in our smoothies. It's a great way to get added nutrition into your kids without them knowing it.

We are always trying vegan protein powders and none of us were disappointed with our purchase of Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Hemp Protein Powder. It blends beautifully, giving us creamy smoothies. The powder is very fine so we haven't experienced the lumps or clumps we have with others. The taste is also very mild; my husband says that he doesn't taste it at all in smoothies. Be aware that a serving size equals four tablespoons of this protein powder. I always price shop in stores and on Amazon, and the price here was substantially less than in our local health food stores. We know that prices change but as of this date, this is currently 25% to 30% less expensive here than in our local stores. That makes a huge difference to our family and we have put this on our subscribe and save program. If you have any questions, please just let me know. Thanks for reading.

I purchased this product to boost my protein intake. I have two GI conditions that make digestion of food difficult, but this item is very easy to digest and provides so much more protein than other sources.

I bought this product so I can add a little bit of nutrients to my smoothies and I really like it. I usually just use a tablespoon in my smoothies and you barely taste it if that’s what’s your worried about. The scent by itself is very herbal. I feel like each time I put it in my smoothies it gives me a boost of energy. Would highly recommend and worth every penny.

I am whey protein intolerant, so was looking for a non-dairy protein powder that I could tolerate. This dissolves in water/smoothies much better than anything else I have tried with no chalky taste. Any other non-dairy powder I have tried literally made me gag even when blended into a smoothie. This I can tolerate. If you're sensitive to the texture of most other protein powders, try this!
