Hemp Protein vs Whey Protein

I'm having difficulty getting enough protein in my diet. I was told to use hemp protein in smoothies. I did a tiny bit of research on both and it seems like a good idea. Does anyone have experience using one or both products and have any recommendations? Thanks!

Yes, hemp works great in my Nutribullet. I use the powdered hemp and sometimes the seeds. Good plant protein source!

I haven't used whey protein but I eat hemp hearts in my smoothies and sometimes plain or on yogurt. I love them, they taste delicious and add a wonderful nuttiness to foods. Great source of protein.

I eat hemp hearts -- nice tasting. Contains a good ratio of Omega 3 to 6.

are you sensitive to whey? yes - use hemp. no - use whey.

I like to use Sun Warrior Blend, it's Vegan and has hemp in it. I'm lactose intolerant and whey doesn't agree with me!

I have a flavoured whey protein that I use when I'm out and about, and I use my hemp protein when I can be at home to make some kind of smoothie with. I wanted to stop using so much whey because I have a weird feeling it's breaking me out.

Hemp's good but expensive. I got a sample pack 55g of reduced fat hemp heart powder from Rocky Mountain Grain Products in Canada (Hemp Hearts tm). You can get more info from hemphearts.com/ or ph 403-315-4154 or email roger@hemphearts.com . That way you can get your protein in and still keep calories lower to fit your macros. I also like Genuine Health's Fermented Vegan Proteins+. 20g of fully fermented dietary protein with very low fat & carb. Helps support healthy gut flora and immune system. genuinehealth.com/?ct=1 Too much of any one thing continually is not good and can cause sensitivities. I like to mix up my whey proteins and vegan proteins throughout the week.

This - hemp protein is a lower quality protein - if you have no issues using whey or a complete protein, then you should use that version over hemp.

Thank you. I don't have any sensitivities. This is the type of info I did not find and was looking for.

Thank you everyone for your answers and your help. I really appreciate it.
