What's on the menu for today????

Here's a recipe I found for sugar-free, plant based nutella from the lady who makes the black-bean brownies if anyone is interested.

The New Nutella

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans or 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added or low sodium black beans, drained
8 regular or 4 medjool dates, pitted
1/4 cup raw almonds
1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup soy, hemp or almond milk

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender or food processor and blend until very smooth. Add more non-dairy milk if mixture is too thick. Chill thoroughly.

Serve with fresh fruit.

These are yummy and healthy if you can believe it!
