Ingredients
200 g split peas dry, uncooked

Instructions
1. Place peas in a blender or food processor. I use a Ninja blender but
any high-speed blender or food processor will do. Make sure
whatever appliance you use is completely dry. You do not want any
moisture in it or you will end up with a paste instead of a flour. Blend
for around 3 minutes. Make sure any openings are covered while it's
running so you don't have pea flour wafting out of it.
2. Sift the processed peas over a bowl with a sieve or mesh strainer to
separate the powder from any of the larger pieces. Reprocess the
large pieces in your blender or food processor for another 3 minutes
and sift again.
3. Any leftover larger pieces can be ground using a coffee or spice
grinder, or throw into a soup or stew so they don't go to waste.
They're so small that they should cook quickly.
 4. Store pea protein powder in an airtight container in the refrigerator
for up to a week or freeze for longer. See above article for how to
add additional protein and flavor options to the powder.

Notes
You can customize it by adding additional protein and flavor options.
See the above article for suggestions and measurements, plus an
example and how I used it in a smoothie.
