Ingredients
- 1 15- ounce chickpeas canned, low salt or no salt added, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup cacao cocoa, or carob powder
- 6 dates pitted
- ½ cup almond milk plain, unsweetened (okay to use soy milk)
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 2 cups fresh strawberries or raspberries
Instructions
- Start by soaking pitted dates in hot water for at least 5 minutes to soften. Add drained and rinsed chickpeas, cocoa (or carob) powder, pitted dates (that have been soaked), and unsweetened almond milk (or soy milk) to a food processor or high-speed blender.
