ATH Organics Protien Bars & Protien Powder

Before I continue with my personal thoughts on ATH Organics' Hemp Gold Protein Bars and Hemp Gold Protein Powder, first check out my story of how I discovered the brand and hemp protein!

As serious jiujutsu athletes, we try our best to be savvy when it comes to nutrition. The champions of our sport set an example for us to follow strict diets to keep our bodies in top condition. The Gracies knew of the importance of healthy eating, giving us what we know as "The Gracie Diet".  Aside from healthy eating, we know to take advantage of supplements like vitamins, protein, and amino acids to aid in our bodies' recovery. 

Not long ago I read about hemp, as hemp gis became sort of cool because of its antimicrobial fabric. I researched how hemp is farmed, used as fabric, and how its seeds are HIGH IN PROTEIN.  That is when I found out about hemp protein. It's abundance in amino acids, and omega-3 fatty acids. To summarize, hemp protein is Gold! Especially for combat athletes. 

I have had all types of hemp protein. All the brands in Whole Foods. I continued to use these brands for a while until one day a company named "ATH" liked my pics on Instagram. I decided to check out the page, and found out that Stu trains jiujitsu, surfs, and makes hemp protein bars and powders. So I decided to order some stuff because I am a fan and supporter of brands that support our sport. I tried it and completely fell in love with how GOOD their protein bars tasted. 

Hemp Gold Protein Bar:


Sight: looks good. Brown and nutty. 

Smell: Coconut and cocoa!

Taste: the flavor is vanilla bean, but the taste is nutty to me. I taste cocoa, peanuts, and coconuts. 

The Hemp Gold Protein Bar is delicious! And the ingredients speak for themselves. It's convenient and great for after you just made weight for your tournament, after training, or as a pre-workout. 

Hemp Gold Protein Powder:

Sight: golden green and earthy. Very fine powder.

Smell: why the hell would I sniff protein powder?

Taste: sweet coconuts. 

(BE AWARE of an absorbent pouch in the container. I almost ate it lol)

The Hemp Gold Protein Powder is 100% THE TRUTH! and beats all other hemp proteins out there in my opinion.

Now I have tried most hemp protein powders. Some don't blend well. Others have flavors that do not go well with fruits. And some just gross. The Hemp Gold Protein Powder is fine And soluble. The flavor is sweet but not overpowering. It mixes well with other flavors. It is great and you can tell by the taste that ATH really pays attention to the ingredients that go in their products.

If you are not sold on this product yet, let me mention the free shipping, free returns and overall great customer service. Check ATH out and give it a try! Support the brands that support our sport.
