Second time buying Hoppa Flour. I personally didn’t use any of the first purchase until it was just about to expire. I use it in smoothies now. As the flavour is stronger than I thought it would be and I don’t like it (tried use in savoury homemade gluten-free flour wraps once and could still taste it) I add cacao or cocoa powder to mask the taste. I blend powders (50g hoppa 25-30 g pure cacao) with fruit (banana/berries) and coconut water in NutriBullet. This is one servings worth (30g protein). I don’t care much for recipes involving the cricket flour because I don’t think you can get much protein that way and I think the flavour ruins most recipes. You need a overpowering flavour to mask the crickets (like cacao). I also disagree with the marketing as meat, particularly grass fed beef (preferably regeneratively raised) is the best protein for humans and the planet but I do think the flour has it’s own place, offering a different protein option. Milk based protein powders generally upset sensitive stomachs and cause gas. I’m one of those people so the cricket flour is a perfect solution. I am going to keep using Hoppa Flour and see if I see any benefits to my health overall. I do question whether I am absorbing all the nutrients completely and if drinking the smoothies is worth it. So far I’m enjoying the quick breakfast option for work so that’s why I decided to buy again.

Perfect for adding protein to my breakfast waffles. I am on a special diet and can’t consume off the shelf protein powders. This is a clean substitute and I’m very happy with the flavour.

I added it to sweet muffins and they tasted good. Next time I use the flour I’ll add it to savoury baked goods.

Use this mixed with normal bread flour to add protein to our loaf. Started off cautiously, at the rate of 50g in a total of 400g in the first loaf. (Hence can only give 4 stars at this stage.) Made the loaf a very attractive nut-brown colour with slight nutty flavour. Next loaf, will try it at the recommended rate of 1:4 (i.e. double).

I wasn’t very pleased with this product at all.

Hi Ella, sorry to hear that you were not very pleased with the cricket baking flour. We understand that you baked a banana bread recipe using cricket flour as a substitute and bi-carb soda and the banana bread did not turn out the way you had hoped!
We usually recommend mixing the cricket flour with any regular or self-raising flour including gluten-free flour to get the right consistency for baking. Cricket flour on its own can be dense due to nutrient content and is best mixed with another flour when baking.
