1 cup (250 mL) dry split peas will make about 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) cooked split peas. Freeze extra cooked split peas peas in small containers for your next smoothie.
To cook split peas: rinse dry split peas and place in a large saucepan. For every cup (250 mL) of split peas, use 3 cups (750 mL) of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the peas are soft, about 25-30 minutes.
For a delicious change, blend 1 cup (250 mL) power smoothie with several additional ice cubes and 1/4 cup (60 mL) Greek yogurt.
