I've heard some good things about hemp protein powder, like that it's digested more fully. I'm trying it out on a friend's recommendation, but am finding it pretty tough to handle after a workout because it doesn't absorb into water very easily. Are there better ways to drink this? Typically, I mix my protein in some water and chug it between workout and meal.

I have a feeling this thread is going to be filled with jokes (hemp...). :)

Anyway, yeah dude mix that stuff in something besides water or in addition to water. Any non-flavored protein powder with just water tastes discusting to me, so I've always included it either in a MRP that I like the flavor of but that doesn't have much protein, or I mix in some other stuff.

You don't have to just use the powder and water, heck if it's a post workout shake you should be getting some carbs in there anyway. The simplest thing I can think of is to use a blender (mixes it better), milk, and add some fruit and make a smoothie!

the package offered up a smoothie recipe but i was at work = no blender. i'm just starting out with the powders and different ratios of what to eat and all that. way too many products to keep straight!

I would think that a hemp based product would be counter productive to ones diet, wouldn't it? I mean with the induced munchies and all? :lol:

(I had too)

I indulged in my share of hemp back in the day, but not in shake form. I use a blender for all my protein drinks… :cool:

LOL, sounds like a new technique for bulking diets!!!

"I have the munchies, let's make some tuna and rice!!!"

Good stuff, but I find that sometimes i break out in the middle of a set laughing, and also damn I get hungry afterwards!
