Hemp protein powder




I have never had hemp protein before. After having Viva Labs - The Finest Organic Hemp Protein in warm milk, the closest I can liken it to is urad dal (Vigna mungo). The texture, taste and smell are very close to urad dal. If you dont like its grassy, nutty flavour - remember the mantra that it is a high quality protein. I have just started strength training, so I know this will do me good.
Since this is a new product, I am slow on finding ways to use it. some good ways seem to be - in pancakes, smoothies, brownies. It ha a grassy flavour which can be masked with Viva Labs - Cocoa powder.
In 'Ultimate Protein Powder - Think outside the Shake', Anna sward cautions that 'Like pea, rice and to a certain extent casein protein powder, hemp protein absorbs lot of liquid' . So remember this while making substitutes.
I like Viva Labs pride in the making of heir product which reflects in every packet on on the labeling.

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
