- Whipped cream, optional

If you are using peppermint extract instead of mint extract - use a little less than 1/4 tsp (measured scant)
Nutritional facts are calculated using mini chocolate chips, unsweetened almond milk, and no whipped cream. If you want to cut down on the calories and fat (even though it's a healthy fat), leave out the avocado for a 140 calorie reduction.
