It's review time: Manitoba Harvest's Hemp Pro70

In: Gear/Product Review, Veg Eats
I am not a professional reviewer. In fact, I only “review” products that I could really see myself using after the trial period. You see as a proud plant-eater for the last 20 years, I am very conscious of what I put into my body. I try to eat as close to the ground as possible and avoid all that processed crap. 

I jumped at the chance to review Manitoba Harvest’s new Hemp Pro70 in vanilla and chocolate flavours. I was invited to test the product because I am a proud Sweat Pink ambassador. 

I have a big love for Manitoba Harvest’s hemp hearts. They taste amazing on fruit. I’ve been looking for a new solid plant-based protein to add to my diet. I’ve been using a few random brands. Maybe this could be what I have been searching for?


GoGreen smoothie: Water + pineapple + banana + kale + Vanilla Hemp Pro70
You know I am all about the green smoothies. I have one everyday that goes a little something like this: water + fruit + greens. I added the vanilla flavour protein to my morning smoothie.
It looked good (all green does really) and it tasted awesome. I detected just a hint of vanilla. I think the pineapple and vanilla together made a good match. There was no aftertaste or any of that yuck that some plant-based proteins leave behind. 

For the chocolate flavour, I wanted to keep it simple. The package says the protein is 100 per cent completely water soluble. (Meaning you don’t need a blender to mix it up). I wanted to see if this was legit. I mixed a couple of unsweeted Almond milk and the chocolate protein in one of my shakers. (I resisted the urge to flip on my beloved Vitamix) You know what? It was super light, creamy and smooth. (I drank it as a recovery drink after a long run.) I don’t think using my Vitamix would have made a difference. 


THE LOWDOWN

  • Pure plant-based protein
  • Only four ingredients in either flavour (hemp protein concentrate, organic coconut sugar, organic fair trade cocoa powder, natural plant extracts)
  •  Water soluble, vegan, vegetarian
  • Low on the glycemic index
  • You don’t have to have a smoothie to enjoy the protein. The Manitoba Harvest website boasts a large recipe database. Make everything from cookies, soups, salads, dressings and spreads using the hemp pro70.
  • 14 grams of protein in chocolate and 15 grams in vanilla
  • Canadian made
THE VERDICT

I’m sold. The two flavours worked for me. I loved that the vanilla and chocolate worked well in my everyday. Like I said before some proteins can be a real challenge to stomach. Nice to see a Canadian company do so well too!
