veggieprincess Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Hello, I do alot of Manitoba Harvest Raw Protein shakes. I am interested to know if there are OTHER raw protein sources besides other brands of Hemp and besides Raw Power. Raw Power is too low in protein for my needs. Manitoba Harvest is 50% protein and has 15 grams per 2 Tbsp. The rest I've seen don't have enough protein to meet my needs. I'd have to use too much and it would get too expensive. So if anyone knows of any higher protein raw powders I'd really appreciate it. I also want to know if they make any Raw "milk" type products that are similar to soymilk. I know you can make your own raw almond milk and stuff, but what about premade. Do any exist? Edited October 23, 2007 by veggieprincess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tectonically it isn't considered raw. It's been process and manipulated by being in a package. So it now has a shelf life.

pamela Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I believe you can't buy raw store bought nut milks because by law they have to be pasteurized and pasteurization makes it not raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Its not raw of course but throwing some peanut butter in a smoothie never killed anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 True but whats the point of living without being able to eat peanuts...I'd like to go out with a bang if I couldn't eat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggieprincess Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Reason I'm asking is I'm getting more interested in Raw Foods since I see how quickly my body is digesting the Manitoba Hemp. Its a strange feeling.... Like I didn't eat anything at all. And I've been accidentally eating more raw foods and my thinking just feels clearer. So even though I'll never go 100% Raw, I think there is definitely something behind it, and I'm going to try to shoot for 50% for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontxhide Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I just wish hemp protein was cheaper I would be eating it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I just wish hemp protein was cheaper I would be eating it up! If there wasn't a ban on growing it in most states, and some producers starting growing it here, it would definitely be cheaper because we wouldn't have to import it from Canada.

Guest Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I don't know about that. The stuff we get from Canada is no cheaper in Canada and I think people here would take advantage of that. Just look at Soy Milk. You'd think the demand and all the new companies would make prices go down but no...they've all gone up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 what is wrong with non gmo golden yellow pea protein powder. with a bulk price of around 2.50-3.00 per pound you can't go wrong. I have had much success in the past with it and will use it now that i'm back in bulk. et van horn <-- west coast supplier (reliable but wont ship to the east)freeman industries <-- east coast supplier (isn't always available though ) okay, whatever, it is starchy and can clog you up on the inside but it is way cleaner than processed soy and other stuff and IMO a good complement to the green algaes, seaweeds and grasses. downside, it is not too palatable plain, chalky tasting and unusual flavor. I wouldn't recommend during a cleansing period also. I have had several fellow raw foodies say it is too starchy and such but i like it to bulk up, personally (other opinions?) It is non-gmo but not found in organic form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 what is wrong with non gmo golden yellow pea protein powder. It's not raw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Pea protein is hydrolyzed. That is usually done by enzymes, acids, or cooking. This denatures the protein (which is actually beneficial for digestion, imo- the stomach will do it anyways, so it just makes things easier as far as i'm concerned.) I'm not sure which way pea protein is processed, but I think it's safe to say it's not "raw" like hemp or something is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 thank you for putting me on to that. Come to think of it now, I cannot believe that never made that correlation. Good thing I don't have any in bulk. Thanks Zack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Go for some hemp this time around. Quite a few here use it with good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I am going to be on the prowl for a bulk supplier who can discount it greatly. I am usually good like that. You will be the first to know when i locate one. I generally always get all my stuff discounted by at least 60% No reason to pay retail when consuming in great quantities. peace.

veggieprincess Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 in the meantime www.trueprotein.com offers Hemp in bulk but it sounds like you have some solid contacts that could get you an even better price. There's a guy on here that says he gets raw hemp in bulk... he responded to my introduction last year. Ponytail... Jerome? something like that. I'm sure some of you would know.

kjs Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 You can get Nutiva hemp protein for a good deal on amazon. If you sign up for their recurring subscription program to get it on a periodic basis, you get an additional 15% off. So about $16 for a 2 lb supply, free shipping.
