(More customer reviews)I sincerely wanted to enjoy this product. Learning the antioxidant benefits of Pomegranate I was excited about finding a nutritious organic healthy shake. Hoping to have this shake as part of my daily nutritious routine I was disappointed when I first tried it. The gritty consistency makes it a little difficult to enjoy this as a drink every morning. I want to try to develop a taste for this nutritious healthy drink so I will continue to include this shake mix as part of my diet routine by consuming one every few days. Maybe an acquired taste is necessary for this product{?}

(More customer reviews)This is a great product. A wonderful source of protein to supplement your diet. Full whey has too much cholesterol, which makes it much less healthy. This product combines whey with soy to keep the cholesterol content down while maintaining the protein content.
Good product and tastes great in yogurt, smoothies, and baked goods.

1 gramSplenda (1 packet) Protein is one of the three "macronutrients" in the human diet. (The other two are fats and carbohydrates.) One major point of difference that sets proteins apart from the other macronutrients is that our bodies cannot completely synthesize proteins. In other words, we need to get proteins from our diet. Proteins are responsible for a long list and wide variety of essential functions in our bodies including the growth and maintenance of muscle, bones, cartilage, hair, skin, and nails. Proteins are also needed to make certain enzymes, hormones and blood. Proteins also help enhance immune function.
One exciting benefit of dietary protein is that it increases feelings of fullness (satiety) when compared to equal amounts of carbohydrates and fats. The result is that we can eat fewer calories from protein and feel just as satisfied as we would from eating greater amounts of carbohydrates. Protein is a natural appetite suppressant!
The Soy Health Claim
In October 1999, FDA approved a health claim that can be used on labels of soy-based foods to tout their heart-healthy benefits. The agency reviewed research from 27 studies that showed soy protein's value in lowering levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "Bad" cholesterol).
Food markets can now use the following claim, or a reasonable variation, on their products:
"Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of APC Whey/Soy Protein provides 6.25 grams of soy protein (APC Whey/Soy Protein contains a total of 25 grams of protein per serving coming from the combination of Whey/Soy Protein)"
To qualify for the claim foods must contain per serving:
- 6.25 grams of soy protein
- Low fat (less than 3 grams)
- Law saturated fat (less than 1 gram)
- Low cholesterol (less than 20 milligrams)
- Sodium value of less than 480 milligrams for individual foods, less than 720 milligrams if considered a main dish, and less than 960 milligrams if considered a meal.
Whey protein is a natural mixture of smaller proteins that are derived from dairy milk. APC Whey Protein contains high amounts of essential amino acids that our bodies need every day!
Because of APC Whey Protein's excellent and immediate absorption, these amino acids get into the bloodstream rapidly. Whey protein is rapidly absorbed and for that reason is effective at stimulating muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth) during periods of recovery immediately following exercise.
Time Release Proteins
As mentioned, Whey Protein is absorbed very rapidly. Rapid absorption has its benefits as fast absorption is ideal in the morning, immediately following exercise, etc. However, there are times when a slower, more sustained absorption of protein is beneficial. If and when there is gang to be a long gap between meals or between snacks, time release proteins can be utilized to fuel your body during this time. APC Time Release Protein is a perfect example of a protein product that can help you accomplish this goal. APC Time Release Protein utilizes a unique and precise combination of five different proteins, all with different absorption profiles. This precise combination provides a full spectrum of fast absorbing, medium absorbing and slow absorbing proteins to combine a sustained release for several hours.

(More customer reviews)If you are thinking about trying hemp protein, this is a great sampler.
I was looking for a non-soy non-dairy protein supplement as I wasn't getting enough protein in my diet.I was also interested in getting more fiber.I saw the Nutiva powders on Amazon and thought for sure I would love the berry pomegranate flavor and almost bought it.Then I saw this sample pack.When I went through the different powders I learned that while the berry/pom flavor is ok, I prefer the chocolate a lot more.Having the different bars has also been great because it has allowed me to see how sweet they are, how filling etc so I could make a better decision about which one I wanted to buy in a larger quantity.I haven't baked with the ground hemp seeds yet, but we'll see how that goes over probably next week.

Bob's Red Mill Soy Protein Powder, 28-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) Review

(More customer reviews)Bob's Red Mill Soy Protein Powder is a low-cost, versatile source of protein.It has negligible fat and no cholesterol, has a neutral taste and odor, and mixes well with the foods with which I have tried it.I have been using it more or less daily for approximately 1 month.
At breakfast I mix 2 tablespoons with 1-1/2 cups of milk, 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast and 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses.The mixture is highly nutritious and tastes surprisingly good.
I also add 2-4 tablespoons of it to approximately 2 quarts of mixed fresh and frozen veggies that I steam for lunch most days.The protein powder takes on the taste of the veggies.
Down the road I anticipate that I will add it to beans and vegetarian chili to give additional protein to these foods also.

(More customer reviews)We figured hemp protein powder is hemp protein powder.But we did see another review that said Ruth's tasted better and had a nicer consistency to it.It was at a reasonably good price, so we got some when we got low on our previous brand.Ruth's hemp protein powder really does taste better than our previous brand, and is much more subtle in fruit shakes than the other.This is a very good product and as a result we've switched brands to this one now - what else can I say?!
