Homemade Yellow Split Pea Drink

This oil-free, high-protein yellow split pea drink has a smooth, neutral flavour. Pre-cooking the peas removes their raw, grassy taste, creating a dairy-free drink that's perfect for coffee, smoothies, or even on its own.

Ingredients:
1 cup dried yellow split peas
4 cups water for cooking
3.5 cups water for blending


Instructions:
1. Soak the dried split peas in water overnight. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
2. Place the soaked peas in a saucepan with the cooking water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until the peas are very soft.
3. Drain the cooking water completely.
4. Add the cooked split peas and blending water into a high-speed blender and blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth.
5. Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag or a few layers of cheesecloth into a large bowl.
6. Transfer to a glass bottle. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Be sure to shake well before serving, as natural separation will occur.
