Looking a little crispy again but should be fine, the savoury biscotti struggled to stay in a sausage shape  and I have a feeling would have tasted better on the first bake. (cooking at lower temp for longer may stop the over crisping of the biscotti).

Added more vanilla/spices due to last spiced vanilla batch being fairly bland.

Another animal protein derived from milk. However, Whey protein is lactose free - whereas Casein is not. Whey protein is absorbed in your digestive system quicker - which is great for anyone using protein powders during or after exercise. Casein is absorbed much slower.Soya ProteinA plant based protein from soya beans. Its great for vegans and vegetarians. Like Casein its absorbed slower than whey which means for muscle rebuilding it lacks effectiveness but its good for forming new muscle tissue. Soy Protein has been known to effect hormone levels however and has been link to thyroid problems.Pea and Hemp protein powders are also available, however they are not as popular. Hemp protein powders have only 47% protein, which means you would have to use more to gain as much protein. Will they make me bulk up?Taking protein alone will not make you bulk up, it will only help your muscle health. To bulk up - of course - you need to incorporate weight training. How big you will get will depend on what weight training you are doing - not so much on what protein you are taking.If you want to bulk up you need a mixture of protein and weight training. In general to get bigger muscles you must lift bigger weights. To get lean muscles you need to do smaller weights for longer reps, although your muscles will still gradually get bigger. If you are female, it will take you much longer to ‘bulk up’ than it would for a male. I’m guessing that from your question you’re actually wanting to bulk up? If so my advice is to take these steps:1. Weigh yourself in KG. Times your kg weight by 1.4 - this is how much protein you should take per day if you’re doing weight training. E.g. if you weigh 70kg, you should eat around 98g of protein per day. 2. Get a weights program. Its best to get a program from a weights trainer. However- if this is out of your price range let me know and I’ll give you further advice.3. Pick a protein powder to suit your needs and tastes. My advice is to use Whey protein, its a popular choice for a reason. Alternatively - you can use shakes such as Cyclone, however you must only use these powders IF you are doing intense weight training - otherwise you are likely to just put on fat. I suggest starting with Whey Protein and advancing onto Cyclone once you’ve built more muscle mass after training for a good amount of time. 4. If selecting Whey Protein - use a shake in the morning as part of your breakfast and then have another one after you’ve finished your workout to maximize muscle growth.I hope this helps - Please let me know if you have any further questions, I will be posting more about weight training and gym advice in future - so please do follow me for more info!
