Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 or 2 pitted dates
  • 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • *Option to add alcohol-free vanilla or ground vanilla if you have it.

Instructions

  • In a high-powered blender, combine: black beans, frozen banana, dates, cocoa powder, soy milk, and if using, vanilla.
    1/2 cup black beans, 1 frozen banana, 1 or 2 pitted dates, 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder, 1 cup soy milk, *Option to add alcohol-free vanilla or ground vanilla if you have it.
  • Blend until smooth.

Notes

  • Peanut butter is also a tasty, healthy-fat filled ingredient option.
  • The dates do not need to be pre-soaked for this recipe to work.  We usually just take the pit out and toss them right in the blender.  However, if your dates are older and more dried out, pre-soaking them does help the blender to puree them more finely.
