things people ask

• Are bean-based drinks actually drinkable?
  Only with high-shear blending (Vitamix or similar at 25,000 rpm for 60+ seconds) and a stabilizer like xanthan at 0.1-0.3%. Particles above 75 microns settle inside 2 minutes, so serve immediately at 4-8°C. Savory tomato-bean blends work; sweet attempts usually read chalky.
• What's the mouthfeel difference versus a fruit smoothie?
  Bean drinks sit about 3-4 Brookfield cP thicker than water, creamier than juice but less viscous than a banana smoothie (around 2,500 cP). Starch suspension gives a slightly chalky undertone that's masked by citrus or cocoa. Not a clean sipper — more like a savory milkshake alternative.
• Can I use black beans in a protein shake?
  Yes — 1/4 cup puree adds about 4g protein plus 2g fiber to a standard shake without overwhelming flavor if the base is chocolate or coffee. Blend 90 seconds and serve within 10 minutes. Taste reads slightly earthy; 1 tsp cocoa or 1 date per serving rounds it out cleanly.
