Chocolate is one of the foods I could never live without, really the only other one is pizza.  As prep for some endurance riding and because my husband wanted a tasty recovery snack, I began my long quest to make the perfect "power ball".

 Everyone loves it, on or off the cleanse,  and I love the variations it offers.  Recently I used basil and cilantro  as the main herbal ingredients, and I think each and every person who ate it, asked for the recipe.  Wanna be that person at your next potluck?

Sometimes chocolate is the perfect cure.  These flourless chocolate bites are loaded with good protein, good fat, good fiber and great taste! Don’t let the black beans scare you away, they are the secret ingredient that will get you that blue ribbon at your next brownie bake-off!
