For two whole years, my favourite smoothie has been a combination of cocoa powder, coffee, and raspberries. The flavours marry each other like a dream. Chocolate and coffee with a fresh tartness from the berries – a match made in heaven. Hence, the creation of this recipe! Also, if you want a normal (yet fab) black bean brownie simply skip adding the currants and coffee and voilà! Delicious and nutritious!

Chocolate + coffee + tart fruit = heaven!!

Enjoyyy! <3
