Easy Mint Smoothie (Dairy & Gluten-Free, Paleo)
Creamy and indulgent but healthy! This mint chocolate chip smoothie uses the real herb paired with healthy fats and bananas to bring its satisfying flavor.
Ingredients
2 Ingredient Chocolate Sauce
- 1 teaspoon cacao powder
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
Ingredients In The Chocolate Mint Green Smoothie
- 1 banana frozen
- 2 handfuls spinach
- 1 tbs almond butter
- ¼ avocado
- ½ cup mint fresh
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- 3-4 ice cubes
- 1 cup almond milk
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
- ⅛ cup collagen powder
Instructions
- Whisk up the chocolate sauce until no clumps remain. Set aside.
- Place all ingredients for the smoothie (except the chocolate chips) into a powerful blender and blend until smooth and creamy
- Place ¼ of the chocolate sauce into each glass and swirl it around. Divide the chocolate mint smoothie into the glasses.
- Top with the remaining chocolate sauce.
Notes
- Toppings for the smoothie are not included but protein granola or coconut whip cream are pretty tasty!
- Though you can use fresh banana for the chocolate mint smoothie, frozen banana will work better.
- Opt for unsweetened almond milk for the recipe as you don't need the extra sugar in the mint chocolate smoothie (I promise!).
- Coconut milk from a can is a great addition to the top of the smoothie.
