    bump - i made those black bean brownies a long time ago and they were good! Just didn't realize i had to put em in the fridge. they were GROSS by day 2! HAHAHAHA

    Now - Mind you, I was very young (early 20's) and really had never done much cooking before that (eating out a lot - leading to having to lose a lot of weight)

    I am older...and a tiny bit wiser. :)

    Hi. There's a black bean soup recipe on Food.com. Under Restaurant Food. It's a bit vague but best direction I can remember.

    My favorite for months now has been my version of the Chocolate Black Bean Brownie Smoothie:

    1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
    1 small or 1 very large banana
    2 T. cinnamon
    3 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
    3 c. Silk Original soy milk

    Puree and serve. Makes 3 servings. Loaded with protein, calcium, iron, and potassium, but tastes like dessert.

    I put them in my salad or make black bean brownies. Salad is quick. Chop up some romaine, 1/4 avocado, fresh salsa, 1/4 cup brown rice, 1/4 cup black beans , chopped up tomatoes, some red onions and a bit of sour cream as the dressing. I also throw in some grilled chicken or pork to increase the protein. Then top with a tablespoon of grated cheese. Super filling!

    Perhaps not adventurous but I am a huge fan of a black bean salad. Toss a can of black beans, can of kidney beans and can of garbanzo beans (all drained and rinse) with chopped onion and a vinaigrette type dressing. Let sit in the fridge at least overnight I use a cup as a tasty and filling lunch. Sometimes I add avocado.

    my first thought when reading this was;....black bean smoothie! how gross.
    my second thought was; hmm i have first four ingredients, wonder if unsweeten vanilla almond milk will work too!
    seriously not sure why i want to do so but, i must now try this recipe out.. thanks for sharing.
