You’ll never guess what wonderfully nutritious ingredient these vegan chocolate ice pops are hiding…They are creamy and sweet, yet nut-free and reasonably low in fat, so what magic ingredient would do that? Beans! The chocolate and date flavors nicely mask any remaining beany taste from the black beans, so you’re left with a wonderful, satisfying chocolate popsicle. Even kids will love these!
