I’m always looking for FUN ways to eat more beans since they support healthy digestion, increase fullness, and keep energy levels steady throughout the day.
After many recipe tests to get it just right, I’ve gotta share with you one of the most FUN & DELISH ways to eat beans….
✨CHICKPEA NUTELLA✨
dreamy, chocolatey spread that’s way better for you than the jarred stuff
Let’s compare…
👉The classic chocolate hazelnut spread (2 tablespoons) has 200 calories, 21 grams of SUGAR😱and artificial flavors. Nooooo!
👉My CHICKPEA NUTELLA (2 tablespoons) has just 80 calories, 2 grams of sugar, and is made w/ simple, wholesome ingredients. So.Much.Yes!
Here’s the recipe…
