Chocolate Black Bean Smoothies
In an effort to keep my cholesterol in check and incorporate more beans into my diet, I started to explore unique ways to use black beans.

Since I like to start my day with a bowl of oatmeal, I focused on turning the recipe into a chocolaty treat that I could enjoy for dessert! —Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
