No artificial flavours. No fillers. No “proprietary blend” mystery formulas.
Just a handful of whole seeds and a blender.

This is a protein powder that actually tells the truth — and it starts in your kitchen.

Hemp & Chia Seed Protein Powder

Ingredients

  • 1 cup hemp seeds

  • ½ cup chia seeds

  • ½ cup flaxseeds

  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine all seeds in a blender or food processor.

  2. Blend until you get a fine, powdery texture.

  3. Store in an airtight jar (refrigerate if you live in a humid climate).

That’s it — four ingredients, zero additives.

Why It Works

Each seed brings something to the table.

  • Hemp seeds – complete plant protein with omega-3 and omega-6 fats.

  • Chia seeds – fiber and antioxidants for digestion and energy.

  • Flaxseeds – hormone-supportive lignans and healthy fats.

  • Pumpkin seeds – extra protein, zinc, and magnesium.

Together, they form a nutrient-dense, naturally balanced powder — no lab coat required.

How to Use It

  • Add a scoop to smoothies or overnight oats.

  • Stir into Greek yogurt or porridge.

  • Blend into energy balls for a protein-dense snack.

  • Not ideal for baking — the healthy fats make it dense.

Want more protein per scoop? Add ¼ cup of pea protein isolate when blending — it bumps each serving to roughly 12 g protein.

Label Scan Reality Check

Compare this to the back of any commercial protein tub.
You won’t find:

  • Sucralose

  • “Natural & Artificial Flavour”

  • Maltodextrin

  • Carrageenan

  • Marketing terms like “Matrix” or “Fusion”
