Description

This smoothie is loaded with protein and healthy ingredients and tastes like rich chocolate with a hint of mint.  Great for breakfasts or before workouts!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 tsp mint extract
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 small handful baby spinach
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 serving chocolate protein powder (1 or 2 scoops depending on your package)
  • 1 tsp agave nectar or natural sweetener of choice
  • 3-4 ice cubes
  • 1 TBS mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs
  • Whipped cream, optional

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender in the order listed, except for the chocolate chips and whipped cream.  Blend until completely smooth.
  2. Pour into tall glass and garnish with chocolate chips and whipped cream, if using.

Notes

You can use more ice cubes or add 1/4 tsp of Xanthan Gum for an extra thick and creamy smoothie.

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.
