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.

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.
