I absolutely love mint chocolate anything. This shake is just delicious - it's so minty and naturally sweet. It is the perfect dessert or afternoon pick me up when you have a sweet craving. Personally, I love the crunchy cacao nibs added just before drinking, but if the nibs aren't your thing, just leave them off (or go crazy and add a few mini chocolate chips).
I have tried to work this recipe so that it isn't too thin - so don't just eyeball the milk - measure it out and you will get the thickness you expect out of shake.
This makes one serving (which is honestly not enough - it's that good!) Enjoy!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup plant milk (I like almond)
2 Tbl thick plant yogurt (I like CocoJune Vanilla Camomile)
1 frozen banana
2 large handfuls of spinach (approx 2 cups)*
1 date, pit removed
1 Tbl almond butter
3 ice cubes
1/8 tsp peppermint extract
1 tsp of cacao nibs, optional
Directions:
Add plant milk through peppermint extract to a high speed blender. Blend until smooth (I do two cycles).
Pour into a glass and sprinkle cacoa nibs on top. Enjoy!
*Spinach tip for smoothies.....I buy fresh spinach in a carton every week....when I get home I immediately put it in the freezer - it has a nice texture when it's frozen - and it helps keep my smoothies cold.
