Best Hemp Protein Powder

Hemp Protein Powder Review


If you are curious about Hemp Protein Powder, check out this article. When you are looking for a healthy source for protein, it isn’t always easy especially if you are a vegetarian. 

Why consider Hemp Protein Powder?

Hemp protein powder has over from 40-53% protein depending on which brand of hemp protein powder you buy. It is easy to digest and can replace all protein sources. It’s excellent added to shakes or smoothies and can be sprinkled on food, added to sauces, salad dresses, in eggs, oatmeal, cereal, or any other use you can think of. You can even use hemp protein flour in baking as a substitute for a portion of regular flour.

Hemp protein powder is packed with live enzymes, vitamins, minerals and helps to aid absorption. It is an easily assimilated protein so you can use the enzymes, vitamins and minerals without stress on your body.

The hemp protein powder I use is gluten-free, dairy-free, lactose-free and anti-inflammatory. It has zero preservatives or additives. This Hemp Protein Powder  is 12% oil and is made with a proprietary sifting process which makes for less filler fiber leaving a heavy cake powder unlike many store bought hemp flours.

Hemp protein powder is an excellent source of raw plant derived protein making it ideal for vegetarians. The one I use has up to 53.5% protein and beneficial dietary fiber and is low in net carbs. This makes hemp protein powder excellent for cleansing, detoxifying and weight loss.

Here are a few other benefits of Hemp Protein Powder:
Hemp protein powder aids in digestion and assimilation, in a form similar to that found in blood plasma.
  •     * It's delicious - it has an earthy, rich flavor that enhances other flavors. 
  •     * Hemp protein powder has natural antioxidants that prevent free radical damage and create an oxygenated body.

Tracy Anderson Five Day Diet Cleanse

Tracy Anderson 5 Day Diet Cleanse


In one of my recent posts about Tracy Anderson and Gwyneth Paltrow’s quick weight loss and body changing plan – I included the five-day diet that Gwyneth used to prep for Iron Man 2 and for red carpet premieres. If it works for Gwyneth – it may work for you or me, right?

So, Gwyneth says she uses a detox program occasionally, called the “clean program” by Dr. Junger. In her five-day diet that I posted – Gwyneth lists some power health shakes that she drinks before working out and as meal replacements during the diet. These shakes have some of the Dr. Junger Clean products in them – the “Nourish” powder and the “Move” powder.  Although, I think it ideal to order these products and follow the diet exactly as Tracy Anderson and Gwyneth suggest, (I mean the proof is in the photos – she looks amazing) if you can’t (due to time constraints or financial reasons for example) – consider using any protein powder that you have on hand.

I made the morning protein shake on the diet and replaced the “Nourish” powder with Hemp Protein Powder and took fiber capsules to replace the “Move Powder” – you could also add fiber powder to your shake if they have that.

My recipe went like this:
  • 3/4 cup organic almond milk
  • ½ c crushed ice
  • ¼- ½ c water – depending on desired thickness
  • handful of organic frozen blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp of  Hemp Protein Powder
  • 1 packet of stevia vanilla powder


Blend in blender until smooth – this is icy, sweet and delicious. 

Again, to follow the diet exactly is ideal for optimum results and weight loss but if you are doing this for a longer time and don’t care as much about drastic weight loss results- then playing with the ingredients to your taste is great.
You could also use whey protein powder or any other good protein powder that you like.

Some reasons that I opt for hemp protein powder:
  • It’s delicious, it’s live, it’s raw and a whole food product.
  • It has an optimal ratio of omega 6 to 3 essential fatty acids with 2-4% GLA
  • It has great antioxidant properties
  •  The hemp protein powder I buy is easily digested, non GM, gluten-free, and dairy-free no genetically modified organisms, or pesticides. It has zero THC.
  • Hemp Protein Powder is up to 53.5% protein – it increases energy levels, metabolic recovery and tissue repair.
   
  • Balances all systems creating homeostasis and reduces unhealthy cravings which is great – getting rid of cravings for the bad stuff is always welcome!
 Hemp protein powder also modulates hormone balance and cycles -- PMS, menopause, post-menopause and nourishes all the body organs.

Another excellent option for an excellent protein powder is one made by Energy First. The energy 1st protein powder is one of the only ones I've seen that is sweetened completely with stevia.
