I figured that after all the splurging on wings, beer and buffalo chicken dip that you (we) consumed during the Super Bowl, a healthy smoothie would be just the thing to start your week off on the right foot!
This is a decadent-tasting, but oh SO healthy smoothie, with black beans, spinach and kale disguised by being blended together with banana, almond milk, cocoa powder, cinnamon and drizzle of raw honey. This shake truly tastes like a creamy chocolate beverage! You can always add a scoop of your fav protein powder too!
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients:
1 banana, preferably frozen
1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed
2 tsp (or to taste) raw honey/agave
1 cup milk of choice – almond/soy/dairy milk
1 large handful each of kale and spinach
1 TBSP cocoa powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
