Yup, you read that right. Black bean brownies! These gluten-free black bean brownies sound bizarre—but trust, your friends will never guess. Not only do black beans offer lots of fiber for optimum digestion, but we’ve also included spinach for a sneaky dose of vitamin A, which promotes healthy cell production in your skin. Finally, a few scoops of our Raw Beauty Mint Chocolate add extra flavor and a healthy serving of superfoods and adaptogens. These brownies pack a truly blissful bite that you can feel good about indulging in.
