Notes:
Rich, fudge-like brownies that are full of protein and fiber. They’re incredibly simple to make and you won’t feel guilty licking the spoon.

Servings: 20

Ingredients:
1 box of powdered brownie mix (any kind)
1 can (15 oz.) of black beans

Directions:
1. Open the can of black beans and dump all of the contents from the can into a blender or a food processor and puree.
2. Add puree to the powdered brownie mix and mix well.
3. Bake according to the brownie mix box directions.

DO NOT add the eggs, oil, or whatever else the brownie mix box may call for. You literally only mix the puree and the powdered brownie mix.

Enjoy!

These protein- and fiber-filled brownies are pretty rich and fudge-like. No one–not even picky kids–will be able to tell that they’re not “regular” brownies.

Servings: Makes 20

Ingredients:
1 box brownie mix
1 can (15 oz) black beans

(Seriously, that's it for ingredients!)

Directions:
Open the can of black beans, rinse well. With beans back in the can, add enough water to cover beans. Put in blender or food processor and puree. Add puree to brownie mix, and then bake according to package directions.

You DO NOT add the eggs or oil that the recipe calls for, JUST the black bean puree.

These are a great alternative to greasy fries. They’re incredibly easy (hardly even a “recipe” at all, really) and very flavorful. Many other spice/seasoning combinations work well, but the parmesan/basil combo is tasty and simple. Use less cheese to cut the fat even further, but it’s not all that high to begin with. Another AllRecipes find.

I took only what I had around my kitchen to make this and I am shocked at how friggin good it is! I don’t particularly like blueberries because of their texture but this is a great way to eat them without having to suffer through the mushiness of a complete blueberry. I am going to make this a lot! Don’t forget to add some soy yogurt for extra yumminess!!

Servings: 2

Ingredients:
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 cups ice
1/2 - 1 cup soy yogurt
1 cup soy milk
1 1/2 - 2 cups Pomegranate juice
1 teaspoon of sweetener

Directions:
Put all ingredients into blender, blend, add sweetener and enjoy!!!
