This recipe is based on chickpeas and the result is very reminiscent of a chocolate paste, like Nutella consistency. It can also be used as a paste to eat with fruit or pass on a toast!
Innovating in cooking is without a doubt one of my favorite hobbies. A healthy diet has nothing to do with routine and monotony, on the contrary! The secret lies in getting acquainted with ingredients, ways of preparing and taking a risk in the combinations. In my recipes, I always try to select foods that are nutritionally dense and have beneficial properties for our body and health..
This recipe brings a powerful combination: chickpea (good protein source, they are also a excellent source phytic acid, sterols, tannins, carotenoids and other polyphenols, such as isoflavones), Almonds (great source of good fats and amino acids) and Cocoa (one of the most powerful antioxidants, a great source of magnesium, nutrients that stimulate and protect our cardiovascular system And nervous, in addition to fighting free radicals, one of the main causes of aging of our cells)!
Now let’s go to the recipe, which is super practical and simple! You will need a food processor and chickpeas already cooked or canned. If it is canned, just look for a list of simple ingredients listing just chickpeas and/or salt.
