1cup(250 mL) cooked or canned white beansdrained & rinsed well (see tips)
Directions
Place all ingredients into a blender and purée until smooth.
Pour into glasses, garnish with a slice of lime and serve immediately.
Tips
White beans to use include navy, great northern, white kidney or cannellini beans.
The sweetness, acidity and texture can be adjusted by adding more or less of the honey, banana, lime juice and ice.
Be sure to rinse the cooked beans under water to keep their flavour neutral.
If the smoothie sits for a long period of time, it may separate. If this occurs, blend or stir it quickly before serving.
If you didn't use all the canned beans, freeze the leftovers by placing them in a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 6 months. Now you have an easy and nutritious ingredient to add to your stews and chilis.
This was soo good! I did not add the ice but just poured the pineacolada over ice to preserve a stronger flavor. Also used a vitamix. The drink was as smooth as milk with no detection of beans and very good pineacolada flavor. I did 1/3 tsp. Rum extract and 1 tsp. Vanilla.
