How to Make Black Bean Smoothie
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 ml plant milk (almond milk is recommended)
- 2 ripe bananas
- 400 g black beans (or red beans)
- 2 soft Medjool dates
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse and drain the black beans or red beans in a colander. Remove any debris or damaged beans.
- Cut the bananas into small pieces and remove the pits from the dates.
- Add the plant milk, bananas, black beans, dates, cocoa powder, tahini, and cinnamon to a blender.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes, depending on your blender.
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add more plant milk or water to reach the desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a few more black beans or ice cubes.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or seasoning as needed. You can add more dates or cocoa powder for sweetness, or more cinnamon for a stronger flavour.
- Pour the black bean smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. You can also store the smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it's best to drink it fresh.
- Enjoy your nutritious and delicious black bean smoothie! This smoothie is packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants, and makes a perfect breakfast or post-workout drink.
