PREPARATION1. Blend almond milk, black beans, banana, tahini, cacao, cinnamon and cayenne until smooth.
How Can Black Bean Chocolate Smoothie Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISThe protein content and heavy nature of black beans satisfy even the most intense hunger cravings, while their fibre content encourages a regular bowel movement. Vata types or those with weak digestion may experience some gas and bloating due to the astringent taste and dry qualities of the beans. But this is countered by the sweet, oily tahini and heating pungency of the cayenne and cinnamon. Most smoothie recipes call for frozen bananas, but cold shocks the stomach and slows down the digestive process. Use a ripe, room temperature banana to make this smoothie a little easier for your tummy to handle. WHY SHOULD YOU EAT AYURVEDICALLY?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized. An Ayurvedic diet is tailored to your individual body type and the specific imbalances you are working with at any given time. Foods that supplement your specific body type’s needs and digest easily create your menu. Watch as you eat less but feel more satisfied because what you are eating truly nourishes you. Since Ayurveda believes all disease begins in the digestive tract, food is your first medicine.
