Mint Choco Chip Smoothie

Mint Chip Smoothie

There’s this cute little smoothie shop in Boulder, CO called Wonder, this is where I had my first ever mint chip smoothie. My second mint chip smoothie was in LA, at Erewhon. I was in LA for a week, and I literally got it every day. (even though it was $20) Needless to say, I became obsessed. That’s when my mission of replicating these mint chip smoothies began. And I think I’ve finally done it! A copycat Erewhon Mint Chip Smoothie!

There are definitely a few ways that you can ad-lib this smoothie. Sometimes when I run out of frozen coconut packets, I just use a whole banana. Sometimes if I don’t have collagen creamer, I’ll use a protein powder that I have on hand. You can also play around with the thickness of the smoothie. If I’m really thirsty, I like it more like a smoothie (add more coconut milk), but if I want it more of a dessert I like it thicker, like ice cream (less coconut milk, and also using protein powder in place of collagen creamer helps it become thicker). I also always use frozen ingredients, because they help it to be a thicker consistency

This mint chip smoothie, is creamy, refreshing and healthy! It's an easy smoothie to whip up when you want something that tastes like ice cream, but is filled with wholesome, healthy ingredients.

Ingredients

Mint Chip Smoothie

• 1 Heaping Handful of Spinach
• 1/2 frozen banana (use a full banana if you don't have coconut)
• 1/4 cup of coconut chunks (I use 1/2 of a frozen coconut pack)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
• 1 T Unsweetened Cacao nibs
• 1 Scoop vital proteins collagen creameror vanilla protein powder
• 6 drops Chocolate Stevia (optional)

Instructions

Instructions:

1. Put all the ingredients in a high power blender, and blend! I like to top with my paleo copycat thin mint cookies for a real treat!

Notes:

To change the thickness of the smoothie, you can adjust the amount of coconut milk (or other milk alternative). More milk for a thinner smoothie, less milk for a thicker "bowl" consistency.

If you don't have Chocolate stevia, you can use another natural sweetener like a date. Alternatively you could use a full banana in place of coconut chunks.
