Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 354kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup coconut milk canned
- 1 cup frozen spinach or 3-4 cups fresh
- 1/2 cup ice cubes 4-5 large cubes
- 1/2 medium banana or a whole, if you'd like it sweeter!
- 1 tablespoon plain whey protein
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon honey optional
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add smoothie ingredients (except chocolate chips), liquids first, to a blender. A high speed blender will work best, but try adding a bit of almond milk if using a regular blender and having difficulty getting it going. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes.
- Once the spinach and ice are completely blended, the smoothie should look like fluffy like mint ice cream. Taste, and adjust peppermint extract to taste. Add 1 tsp honey if using, and blend until incorporated.
- Add chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, and pulse for 10-20 seconds, leaving the chocolate in small pieces but not completely blended in.
