Living Harvest Hemp protein powder...

[shamnas]

Has anyone tried this brand?

They now have 2 flavoured brand...chocolate chili and vanilla bean.
The thing I am wondering about is that both of these flavoured ones have Unrefined Whole Cane Sugar and I don't know if this is the same as sugar or better because it is unrefined?

I'm using the plain right now. I prefer Nutiva or Manitoba Harvest (though I mix it in with so much other stuff, I can't really taste it).

"Unrefined Whole Cane Sugar" is just sugar that hasn't gone through the 10 (?) steps that regular white sugar does. It's not much better than regular white sugar (maybe some very slight mineral content).

If you want to try this out, they sell single serving packs of the regular flavor at www.veganessentials.com .

Thanks Kathryn.

I would prefer to use something that if sweetened, it is with stevia or agave. When I read the label and saw it had sugar I realized it was too good to be true.

I use Manitoba Harvest Protein Powder, but recently bought the plain Living Harvest as it was on sale (I mix it with other stuff too).

Take care,
