Most of us have heard about protein powder. Why protein? Protein is essential to our bodies for healthy function helping with muscle repair, hormone balance, they have antiobiotic qualities and support cell function. They are very important for overall health and bodily function, so YES you do need protein in your diet. But did you know that not all protein powders are created equally? It is just like anything else on the market. What is inside is what makes it either good or not so good for you. It is important to look into different brands of protein powder just like any other food item on the market.

I've done some of that for you! I have found a wonderful Non-GMO, vegan friendly, soy-free, gluten-free and dairy free protein powder that tastes good! What is it you ask? Pure Goodness. The powder is made from ONLY superfoods with ABSOLUTELY NO FILLERS! That is what we want! That is what our bodies need!

Pure Goodness offers Pumpkin Seed Protein and Hemp Seed Protein with Whole Food Supermeal coming soon! I was able to try the Hemp Seed Protein powder in Natural Chocolate flavor. They also have Natural Vanilla or Unflavored in the Hemp Seed Protein. I found it easy to drink when added just to water, which some are not so easy to drink or clump up considerably. The flavor was very delicious as well, being not to chocolatey and tasted very natural. I've had some pretty nasty protein powders, so was EXTREMELY happy at how easy to drink this was. 

The container comes with its own scoop which is great for measuring out the needed amount. One scoop for 8-10oz of water (pictured above) and it can also be added to a variety of things, including juice, smoothies or milk. One of my favorite ways to eat it is with yogurt.

I added a half scoop to about 3/4 cup organic yogurt and added some blueberries. It slightly thickened the yogurt and obviously the color isn't desirable but it tasted extremely good and was easy to eat for those who don't like the thickened liquid taste like adding it to juice or water. The chocolate flavor isn't strong whatsoever, so when adding to milk it doesn't make it taste like chocolate milk, unless you add it to chocolate milk which is what I recommend. You can either add it to a shaker bottle, which is the easiest, or stir with a spoon. 

Another delicious way to use this protein powder is in baking. I created this recipe specifically for this blog post! Introducing Pure Goodness Chocolate Hemp Protein Bars. They are perfectly sweet for pre or post workouts or as a quick and healthy breakfast. Here is the recipe:

2 Cups organic quick oats

2 Scoops Pure Goodness Hemp Seed Protein, chocolate flavor

2 Tablespoons organic baking cocoa

1/2 Cup organic raisins

1/4 teaspoon pink himalyan salt

1/2 cup organic local honey

1/4 cup organic extra virgin coconut oil

1/4 cup brewed organic coffee

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8 glass pan and set aside. Combine oats, Pure Goodness Hemp Seed Protein, baking cocoa, raisins and salt in a large bowl. Add the honey, coconut oil and coffee until well combined. Press with a large spatula into the glass pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until set. Set on wire rack and let cool ten minutes and then cut into 8 rectangles. Let cool completely in the pan and carefully remove and store in airtight container up to 3 days. 

Makes 8 bars.

Ingredients are the most important thing to keep in mind when purchasing products. Did you know that ingredients are listed in descending order by weight? In this case the first listed is Hemp Seed Protein, meaning that the majority of this is the Hemp Seed Protein. The natural chocolate flavoring is from the fair trade cocoa powder and natural chocolate flavor. It also contains stevia leaf extract for a slight bit of sweetness.
