Packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, this smoothie combines unexpected ingredients like black beans and flaxseeds with classic flavors like banana and chocolate.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup soy milk
120g
1 scoop whey protein powder
30g
1 banana
140g
1/2 cup black beans
130g
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
3.90g
1/2 tbsp flaxseed
5g
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Ensure the black beans are cooked and drained. If you are using canned black beans, rinse them thoroughly to remove any excess salt or preservatives.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the soy milk to your blender.
- Follow it with the whey protein powder.
- Add the banana chunks.
- Add the cooked and drained black beans.
- Sprinkle in the cinnamon, flaxseed, and chia seeds.
3. Blend:
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and no chunks remain. This may take about 1-2 minutes depending on the power of your blender.
4. Adjust Consistency (Optional):
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more soy milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a few chia seeds, or a banana slice.

6. Enjoy:
- Drink immediately to enjoy at its freshest and creamiest.

Tips:

- For a thicker smoothie, add ice cubes or use a frozen banana instead of a fresh one.

- To enhance the chocolate flavor, you can add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.

- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in a little honey or maple syrup.

- Blend the smoothie until completely smooth to ensure the black beans are fully incorporated.

- Consider topping your smoothie with cacao nibs or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and nutrients.

Enjoy your Chocolate Black Bean Smoothie as a meal replacement, snack, or post-workout recovery drink. It's a fantastic way to incorporate more plant-based protein and fiber into your diet without sacrificing taste. The added benefits of chia seeds and flaxseeds contribute to a wholesome and balanced nutrition profile, making this smoothie a star in your healthy eating routine.
