So, I bought it. What to do with it! What are your favorite ways to use powdered hemp protein?

    For the powder I usually make protein pancakes with it. With hemp hearts I add it to my greek yogurt which provides a great taste and texture.

    I make protein pancakes 2 ways (depending on time, sometimes I only have 15min to make breakfast)

    First one is making normal pancakes and adding it to the mix, sometimes I add cinnamon as well just to hide the flavor. (sometimes I find the powder as a bit of an intense flavor to me anyways)

    Second type of protein pancake is I will use 1 egg and 1/4c of egg whites. 1/3c-1/2c of oatmeal or rodgers 7 grain porridge, add the powder, cinnamon and a bit of water. let it sit for 5 min then fry it up in a frying pan like a pancake. I usually cut it into wedges and take it for the trip to work. Sometimes I crave peanut butter and dip the wedges in a tbs of peanut butter.
    I have a non stick frying pan so I don't have to add oil or anything but you might need to do that if you don't have a non stick pan.

    I would imagine you can put the powder in any yogurt just haven't tried it. Hope this helps =)

    I make portable energy bites. Or blend it into homemade salad dressing for a hidden protein punch.
