Five Creative Ways to Use Hemp Protein Powder

Hemp is one of nature’s most nutrient-dense, plant-based protein sources. Made from cold-pressed hemp seed cake, hemp protein powder is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, dietary fibre, and minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium. Even better? It contains all 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential ones our bodies can't produce on their own.

At Hemp Farm, we believe hemp protein is more than just a smoothie booster — it’s a powerhouse ingredient with endless culinary possibilities. Here are five delicious and nutritious ways to incorporate hemp protein into your everyday meals.

1. Protein-Packed Brownies

Who says brownies can't be healthy? Replace a portion of the flour in your brownie recipe with hemp protein powder to boost fibre and plant protein, while adding a subtle nutty richness.

Try our Raw Hemp Chocolate Brownie:

• Blend hemp protein powder with soaked dates, nut butter, cacao powder, and vanilla extract.
• Optional: Add shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
• Shape into squares, freeze for 10 minutes, and enjoy!

Or explore our other favourites like the Flourless Chocolate Fudge Protein Brownies, naturally sweetened with bananas, or add a citrus twist with our Lemon Raw Brownie variation.

Substituting protein powder for some of the flour in your brownie recipe is an easy way to make them healthier while keeping them rich and delicious. Hemp protein adds a nutty depth of flavour and an extra dose of fibre.

2. Grain-Free Breakfast Bowl

Need a wholesome, grain-free start to the day? Hemp protein helps create a thick, porridge-like bowl that’s satisfying and easy to customise.

How to make it:

• Combine 30g of hemp protein powder with coconut flour, a splash of plant-based milk, and your favourite natural sweetener.
• Spice it up with cinnamon, ginger, or cardamom.
• Top with chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp hearts for an omega-3 boost.

This protein-rich breakfast will keep you energised and full all morning.

3. High-Protein Muffins

Skip the sugar-laden store-bought muffins and bake your own nutrient-packed alternatives using hemp protein.

Baking tips:

• Swap out refined flour with a mix of hemp protein powder, almond flour, and oat or coconut flour.
• Add healthy fats from coconut or nut oils for long-lasting energy.
• Use baking soda or powder to keep them light and fluffy.

Elevate your morning oatmeal with a scoop or two of hemp protein powder. It seamlessly blends into hot porridge, enhancing both the texture and nutritional value.

Flavour combos to try:
