The Best Protein Powder Mix I've Tried


I'm not a snacker. I like three square meals. But because I have insulin resistance (pre-diabetes) I was pretty much told firmly I had to have something every 2-2.5 hours to keep my blood sugar steady. Protein powders were recommended (low carb ones).



This one is the best of the various I've tried. It mixes well with water. The flavors are not hideous (I've tried some that made me gag and retch). In fact the strawberry and vanilla are quite pleasant. The chocolate is so-so.



One scoop and I've got my protein and am done. 17 grams of protein at a go. That's excellent. Very low carb. Nice. Doesn't make my blood sugar go wacky.



If you've got Metabolic Syndrome or insulin resistance or even diabetes and you don't dig those bars or want to stop to fix a mini-snack with protein and whatnot between meals this is a terrific solution. And it's not expensive. Stir in water and you're done!

Gentle Alternative Protein with Tolerable Taste & Good Value

This hemp protein powder gives a lot of options from adding it to a drink for extra fiber & protein to simply consuming on its own. A spoonful of it has a slight nutty flavor comparable to wheat germ. Unlike flaxseed which sticks to the teeth even after brushing hempseed is easy to rinse & brush off. Supposedly the amino acids in hempseed are more bioavailable than most other plant sources. My observation is that hemp protein didn't result in gastrointestinal upset like soy. As a health nut I get blood tests to see how diet & exercise affects hormones & lipids. I was glad to find out that hemp protein doesn't lower dihydrotestosterone (DHT) like flaxseed lignans did (yes DHT has value & is not necessarily an evil villain conspiring to kill hair follicles & swell prostates to the size of grapefruits).



It's good variety for those seeking alternative protein sources. Amazon charges less for hemp protein than most other locations. I'm quite satisfied with this product.More detail ...
