Easy and Healthy Choc-Mint Smoothie Recipe

Recipe by: Lee Holmes
Move over mint slice, this smoothie tastes just like mint choc chip ice-cream, only it’s much healthier. In fact, the traditional biscuit-y version has got nothing on this blended variety, which is full of sweet minty creaminess, minus the bloat. You can make this in your office kitchen for a healthy treat on a hot day or at home for the family.
