    Superfood Brownies with Sweet Potato and Chocho

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    There is a new ingredient on the market and everybody is raving. It's called Chocho; it's a lupin; and it's high in plant protein. Today I'm sharing my superfood brownie recipe made with sweet potatoes and the chocho powder.

    These brownie bites are not only superfood brownies but they yummy, moist (not dry), perfectly sweet and dense but creamy and soft - and the added chocolate chips take the brownies over the top.

    • SUPERFOOD BROWNIES WITH SWEET POTATO AND CHOCHO

    Ingredients

    Chocho is the key ingredient here. It's an ancient lupin that’s been cultivated by Indigenous farmers for thousands of years. It grows in the Andes Mountains at an elevation of 11,000-14,000 feet. Chocho is extremely nutrient-dense and packed with protein, fiber, iron, and calcium.

    Mikuna makes a new superfood protein powder made from this lupin called Chocho. Unlike most other legume-based proteins, Mikuna's proprietary debittering process ensures that this Superfood Protein is free from lectins. Lectins are proteins that are resistant to being broken down in the body, so they can cause digestive problems. In fat, all Mikuna products are 100% lectin-free.

    To make these brownies even more healthy and creamy, I'm using sweet potato.

    Make holes in the sweet potato, wrap it in tin foil, air fry or bake it...

    and voila, it's ready for brownie batter.

    In addition to sweet potato and chocho superfood powder you will need the following:

    • cocoa powder
    • oat flour
    • maple syrup
    • vanilla
    • sea salt
    • vegan milk
    • dark chocolate chips

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Chocho Brownie Instructions

    After you've baked your sweet potato and it's nice and soft, you'll want to remove the skin.

    Place it in the food processor and process it until well mashed. Or you can always use a fork to get the same results.

    Add the dry ingredients one by one and keep processing until the brownie batter is smoothie and thick.

    Spread in cake pan and bake.

    Chocho Brownie Substitutions

    • Flour - instead of oat flour you can use regular wheat flour or Bob's Red Mill makes a great gluten-free all purpose flour.
    • Milk - feel free to sub any milk for this recipe.
    • Sweet Potato - you can try banana in place of sweet potato but it will come out a lot different and taste a like chocolate banana bread.

    This recipe is vegan and gluten-free but you can make always make it milk chocolatey and use regular glutenous flour.

    Equipment

    For this recipe I used an air fryer and an oven. You will need a bread pan.

    Storage

    These store well in an airtight container for 2 days. Refrigerator for longer shelf life.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
