Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie

Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie


This tastes way too close to a chocolate chip mint milk shake! A mint chocolate chip smoothie, with coconut milk and a surprising amount of spinach, yielding an authentic lovely green hue. 



Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie


Serves: 1 (Prep time 5 mins)

Ingredients
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup coconut milk (canned)
  • 1 cup frozen spinach (or 3-4 cups fresh)
  • ½ cup ice cubes (4-5 large cubes)
  • ½ medium banana (or a whole, if you'd like it sweeter!)
  • 1 tablespoon plain whey protein
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, and pulse for 10-20 seconds, leaving the chocolate in small pieces but not completely blended in.

Avocado Broccoli Smoothie

Avocado Broccoli
Avocado Broccoli smoothie


Makes 2 big glasses
1 big broccoli stock, or 2 smaller
1/2 zucchini
1/2 cucumber
4-6 apples, depends on size and need for sweetness
1/4-1/2 lemon
1 avocado
15 almonds
Ice cubes

Directions:
1. Wash all of the fruit and vegetables.
2. Place broccoli stock, zucchini, cucumber and 1/4 lemon in the juicer, and press start. Then add 4 apples. Taste it and add more apples and lemon if necessary. It is okay if it is semi sweet and just a bit sour, because the avocado and almonds will need a little power in order to get the perfect balance.
3. Add juice to a blender with avocado meat and almonds. Blend until all almonds are dissolved.
4. Pour into glasses and serve with a few ice cubes in.

Perfect as a part of your breakfast or as a snack, Enjoy!

Berry Green Smoothie

Make-ahead freezer friendly smoothies that are healthy, nutritious and so refreshing for your mornings!


Ever since I started to work from home, I need every excuse to get out of the house into the real world. That’s when I started to walk down the street to Starbucks and the donut store for a morning treat before I start my work day. But obviously the donut calories are not doing me any kind of justice. So with bikini season right around the corner, I decided to change up my morning routine with a healthy green smoothie.



But instead of having a green-green smoothie, I decided to throw in some frozen berries that I had on hand. Now I love all kinds of berries but I’ve found that blueberries and raspberries make a great flavor combo. Plus, you’ll get that extra antioxidant boost! From there, I also added in a banana for some natural sweetness and old fashioned oats to keep you nice and full until lunch time.

You can also freeze individual smoothie packs in a Ziploc bag using your favorite combination of fruits. You can have a different smoothie every day, and it doesn’t get easier than throwing everything straight from the Ziploc bag to the blender! There’s absolutely no thawing needed. All you need to is add your milk and oats when you’re ready to blend. Super easy, right?

Prep Time
5 minutes
2 servings

INGREDIENTS
1 cup spinach leaves
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons old fashioned oats
1 tablespoon sugar, or more, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine spinach, blueberries, raspberries, banana, milk, oats, sugar and 1 cup ice in blender until smooth.
Serve immediately.
