Hemp protein powder-is this an ok protein snack idea?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I have a couple single serve packets of Nutiva's hemp shake mix. I decided to try one this afternoon. It wasn't half bad! Now I normally stay far away from protein powders since they're all denatured by the high heat processing. But in doing some digging it seems that this is not the case with the hemp protein. Two links:
https://nutiva.com/faq/faq_hemp.php
http://www.sunfood.com/buy/1/73/Hemp...anic-1436.aspx

So it would seem that this would be ok by TF standards, am I right? I guess I would like it if I had another option for a good quick protein snack every now and then. I would mix this with either raw milk or homemade yogurt. I'm trying hard to lose weight while bf'ing and have done well in cutting out all refined sugars and cutting grains back considerably. Sometimes I crave something though and a hard boiled egg isn't gonna do it. Any thoughts?

I consider the nutiva hemp a pretty good one, but only the acai flavored one. The other ones have sugar which would not be good on a daily basis. I add the acai one to smoothies and it is soooo good. Hides the greens well.

The acai & goji is what I have and I really liked it! And all I did was try to whisk it into a glass of milk quick. It'll be even better in a proper smoothie. Shoot I had a chance to buy a whole canister cheap a while back and I figured it was not healthy so I passed it by. Oh well!
