Calories: 185kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and thoroughly rinsed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar -free maple syrup or liquid monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons creamy almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar -free dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Rinse the black beans under cold water for at least 60 seconds and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and metallic flavor.
  • Combine the beans, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a high-speed food processor.
  • Process on high for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the mixture is completely smooth and no bean fragments remain.
  • Add almond milk one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the desired thick batter consistency is achieved.
  • Remove the blade from the processor and fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips using a silicone spatula.
  • Transfer the batter to a bowl; serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the texture to set and flavors to meld.
