I usually just throw a handful of almonds or some hempseeds into my smoothies.

I second hempseeds Lots of protein plus an awesome fats/omega 3 profile!

I prefer the seeds over hemp protein powder...it's less processed.

Where can I get Hempseeds? Could I get them at GNC?

Another Hemp seed vote. I can get them at my local grocery store, but I'm lucky in that regard. I think online is an option.
I also use Brewer's yeast. So much protein and all kinds of good stuff! (In the vitamin isle.)

I get them at amazon.com. They used to be subscribe and save but now you can get them through rawreform.com by way of Amazon.com for free shipping. I think they are about $49/5lbs right now....as a family of 5 we go through about 7lbs/month. I think amazon.com has the best price.

Do hemp seeds or Brewers yeast have a taste? I have a hard enough time swallowing green smoothies

hemp seeds don't have any taste in the smoothies. they taste like sesame seeds to me. yummy on salads and stuff. the brewers yeast tastes kinda good in a weird way. its the Lewis labs kind and states on the container that it 'actually tastes good' and 'no after taste'. i put it in our ketchup when having sweet potato fries. we like it. put a little in a smoothie and work it up..it's really not that bad. gl! hth.
