I mix it in with strawberries, 1/2 of a banana & water. (I also put other things in it as well.)

you mean make a smoothie out of it? i cant find a way to cover the taste...i just really hate the taste.
what else do you put it in?
i need to find something to hide it in.

How about in a nut pate? Or try something with carob or cacao? Something that will help the taste without fighting it. Try garlic?

I eat my hemp protein powder with coconut oil and honey it's soooo good! I think it tates nasty with fruit though.

If you don't mind me asking but why eat it if you don't like it :confused:

funny... I thought I'd never ever like hemp protein powder until I tried Living Harvest. That one I can eat straight. --> :eek:

But yeah, hemp protein can overpower certain combos. I like it in my superfood smoothies but I only use a scoop, which is about 1 and 1/2 tablespoon per 24oz. Otherwise, to me, it's pretty yummy with reeeally ripe bananas and coconut oil. "mmm" :) ...just one of many other ways I'll eat it.

I would try making them yourself at home!

well..... i got it because i thought it would be a good source of protein. i like hemp nuts.... i just dont like the powder. it was something i thought i would try. i am sure i just need to learn how to use it.
it must be good when combined with the right things.

but yeah.... LOL a very good question.

Do you have a pet - if you have a dog, you could mix it in with its food. Or compost it. Or just sprinkle on a salad or something savory.

I agree, I tried it and don't like it at all. Now I don't buy hemp protein or other protein powders anymore, I figure if they aren't found in nature I don't need to eat them for nutrition, whole foods will give me the nutrients I require. I did buy whole hemp seeds/nuts but I don't like the flavor of those either. I tried making hemp milk out of the seeds and it was really unpalatable.

i dont have any pets but.... i do want to try to eat this stuff. i have gotten some good suggestions here so think i will manage to finish it.
i am interested in all possible sources of plant protein.
thanks for your suggestions.

I tried hemp powder in a fruit smoothie, and it tasted good, but I had indigestion afterwards in the form of (sorry to sound rude!) belching and retasting it for hours afterwards! I won't use it again. I figure this much.....if it tastes bad to me or gives me an upset stomach, my body ain't liking it!

sprinkled in a salad or soup, i suggest savory dishes instead of sweet. start with a tiny amount and add to it until you find a level that's still tasty, then don't exceed that so you never ruin a dish with too much. you don't really need that much protein so a small amount here and there is adequate i think.
