Wash Pea Protein
Prep your pea protein by giving your yellow split peas a good wash & rinsing at least 3-5 times until the water runs clear (I use a fine mesh sieve for this).
Dehydrate Ingredients
Dry washed split peas with an absorbent towel to remove excess moisture. Spread dried peas, gogi berries, hemp hearts and vanilla bean onto a parchment lined baking tray.
Dehydrate in the oven at about 135°F (57°C) for about 90 minutes. If you don't have a dehydrate setting on your oven, you can simply set the oven to its lowest heat, or even dry them overnight on the countertop in a sunny spot.
Cool
Remove tray from oven and let the ingredients cool for about 10 minutes until the vanilla bean easily snaps when bent.
Blend
Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor. Then add coconut flakes & stevia (or any natural dry sweetener of your choice). Blend on low for 2-3 minutes, then increase to medium, mixing as needed. Stop and loosen from the sides as needed & re-blend.
To Store
Store Protein Powder in a air-tight container for at least 6 months (ensure to check your individual ingredients for expiry dates - it should last up to a year).
To Use
Add 1 Tbsp to 1/2 cup (15-30g) of protein powder to your favourite smoothie & blend.

Notes
TO ALTER THIS RECIPE:
You can alter the amounts of pea protein & hemp protein as you see fit, however, this will change the flavour. I find hemp protein has a very strong flavour and the amount in this recipe is the perfect balance.
If you don't eat hemp seeds, you can always replace them with chia seeds, flax seeds or more yellow split peas.
The coconut can also be substituted with more pea protein but again this will change the flavour profile, however, it is still very good.
