I'll be damned if this doesn't taste legitimately like a liquid brownie. 10/10.

You're so welcome!! Thank YOU for your kind feedback!!! Blessings to you too!

[@Fudgeey]

I don't know why it's never occurred to me to make bean shakes, until just now. You just opened pandoras box, black beans, chickpeas, pinto beans, butter beans, everything is about to be turned into a protein shake.

[@epicmintleaves]

Awesome! Enjoy the bean smoothies!

[@bexiboo1981]

Thanks for this! Very tasty and easy to make, even my kids like it!

[@epicmintleaves]

You're welcome! I'm delighted to hear that you and your kids enjoyed the recipe!

[@baardmanbeats]

Just made this seen this on insta tastes better than most protein shakes such a game changer

[@epicmintleaves]

Thank you so much for your feedback!!! Enjoy!

[@Monteltallen]

I just want to say, this taste unbelievable. Im one of those people that are skeptical with vegan recipes that are supposed to taste like something or replace something, but I would not believe it if someone told me there are black beans in here. I took the bananas out the recipe and it taste literally like a liquid brownie. I know people in the comments exaggerate all the time about how good a recipe is, but I’m serious this is almost too good to be true.

[@epicmintleaves]

That's fantastic to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! Happy cooking!

[@underworldunmasked]

Just tried this and if you have a smaller blender like me (600ml capacity) you should half the ingredients listed it will still taste amazing and is still a good source of protein 👌🏽 I rarely try stuff like this but this one is certainly a game changer

[@epicmintleaves]

Great! Thank you very much for your feedback!!

This looks amazing. But Im wondering if you used regular peanut butter like Skippy or was it raw peanut butter? Thanks!

[@taniaatallah6407]

Thank you, Tania! Black beans help to create a brownie-like taste, but chickpeas or white beans should work too. Enjoy!

This is so rich! I can‘t believe you used black beans. I love the high protein content!

[@epicmintleaves]

It is! Thank you, Jane! Enjoy!

[@reninparker9822]

tried this, it was very good! sadly my old blender isnt very powerful so still had to chew through some bean skins lol

[@virginiavoigt2418]

Try processing just a part at a time, like one third or one fourth.

[@sabati292]

Can I make this without the peanut butter? If yes, how would it affect the protein content?

[@Monteltallen]

I used cashew butter instead it still taste good and still healthy

[@MrW0rDs]

How about cooking the beans in bulk and refrigerate them for a week worth of smoothie ? I'm also concerned about consuming those regularly because of the high lectins they contains

[@cea1962]

lectins are eliminated in the cooking process. As long as you don't eat raw or undercooked beans you are fine

[@fredallen5999]

I froze the beans and bananas made in blender then froze in the freezer made black bean nice cream! Tasty after I microwave it for 30 seconds!

[@epicmintleaves]

Awesome! Sounds delicious!

[@FredSays]

Would this work with Kidney Beans? Or are they too different?

[@epicmintleaves]

This works best with black beans, but you can try. Enjoy!

[@jonnysalavante1043]

Can i use rolled oats for subtitute and i remove dates?

[@epicmintleaves]

You can replace the dates with your preferred kind of sweetener. Enjoy!

[@billiejoe413]

No bananas in the house. Any ideas?

[@reninparker9822]

what can i use instead of peanut butter if i dont have any?

[@epicmintleaves]

Just use any other nut or seed butter you like. Enjoy!

[@virginiavoigt2418]

Wonder how this would taste if I run it through my Ninja Creami?

[@balkis_18]

May i use lentil or chickpeas instead of black beans?

[@epicmintleaves]

This smoothie tastes best with black beans. You can find other smoothies with chickpeas on my channel. Enjoy!

[@razor-_-dark-_-6369]

do i take it after the workout or before?

[@mikelabodini6599]

After

[@Fyvalith]

is there any substitute for black beans?

[@epicmintleaves]

This recipe works best with black beans. Check out my other protein smoothies for other kind of beans. Enjoy!

[@user-gc9we9gy7p]

Can we add normal milk ? Because soy milk is hard to find and not available here

[@taxifahrer]

yes

[@igormarques6697]

Does the canned beans come pre-cooked?

[@epicmintleaves]

yes, enjoy!

[@sarah4247]

Will it still taste good without the cocoa powder?

[@epicmintleaves]

You could try, but this tastes best with cocoa powder. You can find other plant-based high protein smoothies without cocoa powder on my channel. Enjoy!

[@WendyKovacs]

Could you freeze as Popsicle?

[@epicmintleaves]

I haven't tried to freeze it yet, but it could work. Enjoy!

hi, i just wanted to know how many calories this has?

[@mikess296]

I searched for all the ingredients in their respective quantities, apparently there are 1506 calories in the whole smoothie.

[@Baha7579]

Will make it, I need an alternative to protein powder

[@epicmintleaves]

That's fantastic! Enjoy the protein smoothie! 💪

[@etherealenigma2008]

OK, since I'm now addicted to this smoothie and throwing back at least two a week, with rotating fruits like black cherries, black berries, etc., dare I ask the calorie content? I know PBWH vegans aren't supposed to worry about that, but hold habits die hard. Any ideas since all the other ingredients are defined so wonderfully? ? ?

[@epicmintleaves]

It's great to hear that you like this smoothie! Like you said: On a whole-food plant-based diet, our body knows what it needs. 210 (cooked black beans) + 425 (peanut butter) + 180 (Medjool dates) + 210 (bananas) + 60 (cocoa powder) + 240 (soy milk) = 1,325 calories

[@NomadicNirvana420]

How did you calculate 60grams of protein with this? Im only counting 30

[@epicmintleaves]

even 62.33 g! Check the details in the description of the video (I just put it on there). All based on official USDA data. Make sure to enter drained chickpeas. Enjoy!

[@NomadicNirvana420]

Ahh. I was using almond milk instead of soy. And must have undercounted somewhere as well. Thanks

[@mtalk828]

Nice ... *but how much protein do you get?*

[@ajaysharma-og4bi]

Very nice, full marks for taste 🤤 but just wondering if this really 80gm of protein 🙂

[@epicmintleaves]

Thanks! It's 62.33 g of protein. All based on official USDA data (details in the description). Enjoy!

[@ajaysharma-og4bi]

I have been greatly benefited by this recipe, but in order to replace protein powder I need more protein. Please tell me which item to increase if I want this shake to have more protein 🙏🏼

Just made this with (accidently) black lentils instead of beans, but it was great nevertheless!

[@davinarasmussen]

If you have GERD, it's not the flavor of the beans that can make you nauseous, it's the beans themselves (most beans anyway.) I have to take digestive enzymes beforehand, any time I eat beans. If you have IBS, beans are a terrible idea in general. I'm going to try this and only drink part of it at a time.

The beans alone get you a thumbs up

[@epicmintleaves]

[@BSTGMR-kj3tu]

Hi there, can't seem to find these black beans where 240g equals 21g protein. The closest I found was Organic Black Beans canned where 240g equals to 18.96g protein. I did find black turtle beans with a higher protein count, are they same thing?

[@epicmintleaves]

There're quite a few black bean cans with even higher protein values than I calculated. I just used the official USDA values ("Beans, black, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt"). We wanna work with the drained values, too. On many cans you find the nutrition facts for the whole thing including the liquid. Remove that water and you end up with higher protein values. Enjoy!
