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.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.
