Six months of staying home is the only explanation I can offer for why a bag of hemp protein powder appeared in my grocery list and thence to my pantry. As I searched for ways to use this mystery powder all recipes seemed to require more ingredients and processes than I was willing to get into without any assurance that the result would be appealing enough to compare favorably to simply eating the powder and separately having the muffin or brownie or shake in its sans-hemp form.
