hi all! Don’t forget that I want to hear your #beTRUEtoYOU story
& you can be entered to win an Under Armour Hoodie!
I’m super excited because I’ve already received e-mails, tweets, & posts
sharing your stories & I LOVE THEM! You all rock; fact.
A week or so ago on Instagram I shared a little teaser pic with new recipes!
So far I’ve shared number 2 –Socca Eggplant Lasagna
&
number 3 – Mexican Style Stuffed Acorn Squash
I know that number 5 was one of the favorites selected
so I didn’t want to keep you in anymore suspense!
Ingredients:
1 can of black beans (drained & rinsed)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup milk of choice
1 banana
1.5 scoops of protein powder
(I used VEGA vegan vanilla)
1/4 cup of Cocoa Powder
I used Hersey’s Dark Cocoa Powder to make it more rich!
2 tsp baking powder
splash of vanilla extract
3 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup of raisins
1 scoop of spirulina (optional)
1 TB of café ceps organic instant coffee
(any instant coffee will work – brings out the chocolate flavor!)
Directions:
-
Blend pumpkin, banana, 1/4 cup of the almond milk, & beans in a food processor until smooth.
-
Pour into a bowl & add in all other ingredients (plus remaining 1/4 cup milk)!
-
Pour into an 8 x 8 baking dish
-
Bake at 350 for about 1 hour.
*This will not be a fluffy “cake” texture – it’s more dense & fudge like!
It also goes really well with a nice glass of red wine,
if you’re old enough to drink!
The boyfriend & I had a nice date night with this pairing.
And no, we didn’t go through 2 bottles of wine –
he wanted to try this blueberry wine I had & I wanted my organic red wine!
Just a small glass, slippers, leggins, boyfriend, & chocolate.
#perfectnight
I hope you’ll try it out & enjoy!
Wine or no wine, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
