we have used this product for over a year now. We enjoy it in green smoothies and sprinkled in pate nori wraps. It provides a great nutritional boost.

For some reason, this company makes two versions of this stuff. In the other version, there is more fiber. As a matter of fact, over 50% of US RDA in two tablespoons!!
This stuff is great either way. I have gone from having a hot chocolate in the afternoon to making a shake w/this, one tablespoon of flaked dark chocolate, 2/3 of a frozen banana and either almonds or hazelnuts, then some grass-fed, raw milk. Gives me amazing energy and tastes great.
(I got the fiber version @ vitaganza.com.)

I just wanted to add to my review below that I tried the other reviewer’s recipe for a chocolate-banana shake, and it was really delicious (I made it with almond milk).

First of all I should mention that this product does not contain any narcotic compounds. From Manitoba’s web site: “Hemp contains a fraction of the psychoactive compound, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that Marijuana does…all Manitoba Harvest(tm) products have 0.00% THC.”
This protein powder has been a great addition to my diet. I have a very fast metabolism so I need extra protein in order to stay healthy and feel good. I think this is healthier than the weigh protein I was taking before and I feel better eating it. I think in general vegetable protein is a better choice, and it may be better for achieving/maintaining your ideal body weight, whether you are underweight or overweight (especially if you also exercise regularly).
I first started using this powder over a month ago and I find that it is best when used in shakes. It is also good as a snack mixed with plain yogurt and stevia (a natural sweetener). The taste is good in my opinion, though I have to admit I did like the taste of my weigh protein powder better. In the shakes I barely notice the difference, however, in spite of the slightly green color (the powder is green). The Chlorophyll and everything else in it is extremely healthy, and I think it’s a great choice for anyone concerned about nutrition.
I recommend drinking the protein shakes at least 20 min. apart from carbs. I also would have to caution that the other reviewer’s recommendation about buying the kind with added fiber may not be best for everyone. If you already have plenty of fiber in your diet, adding that much additional fiber could act as a laxative.
