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.

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 frozen banana, roughly chopped
• 1 bunch English spinach leaves
• ¼ cup organic nut butter
• ½ avocado, peeled & stone removed
• Handful mint leaves or 0.5mL alcohol-free peppermint extract
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup almond milk
• ½ cup coconut water
• Handful ice (optional)
• 3 tbsp raw cacao nibs

Method

1. Place all the ingredients except the cacao nibs in a powerful blender and blend until smooth. Add the cacao nibs and blend for another 5–10 seconds.
2. Pour into a tall glass and serve.
