Part of The Daily Dozen is three servings of beans a day. So, if you’re looking to add more beans to your diet because they have protein, fiber, and antioxidants, here’s a fun and delicious way to include them. I promise, you won’t taste the beans. They, along with the bananas, will add the creaminess that we all love in a traditional shake.
½ cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
2 small frozen ripe bananas (The spottier the bananas, the sweeter they are.)
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple syrup or 1 pitted date (Optional)
1½ Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (I use dark cocoa powder.)
1 cup unsweetened plant based milk (I used unsweetened soy milk.)
Blend all the ingredients in a high speed blender until completely smooth.
Serve cold.

NOTES: I didn't use any other sweetener other than really ripe bananas. We thought the shake was just right. Taste the shake first and then add maple syrup or a date if it’s not sweet to your taste. You can add 1 teaspoon maple syrup or 1 pitted date to make it sweeter. If the bananas you use are really ripe, you may not need to add any other sweetener.
