I promise that this tastes really good! I have a Green Smoothie recipe that I like, but I wanted a new one, so I played around and came up with this Chocolate Mint Spinach Smoothie recipe. It isn’t a prefect replica, but it has enough minty-chocolate taste that I feel like I got a little treat instead of a dose of veggies. (And who wouldn’t prefer a treat to a dose of veggies?!)
What makes this so yummy is adding the fresh mint. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 or 3 handfuls of fresh spinach leaves
- 1 banana
- approx 8 fresh mint leaves
- chocolate protein powder (use amount recommended on packaging)
- dash of cinnamon
That’s it! Blend away!
As I mentioned, I really like that this is full of spinach but tastes really chocolaty and has that kick of mint. These smoothie recipes can have all sorts of variations too. A few days ago we were out of bananas and I used a little plain Greek yogurt instead. It worked just fine and was extra creamy.
Are you hooked on spinach smoothies? What do you put in yours?
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 or 3 handfuls of fresh spinach leaves
- 1 banana
- approx 8 fresh mint leaves
- chocolate protein powder (use amount recommended on packaging)
- dash of cinnamon
- Add all ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth.
This sounds really good! I’ll have to give it a try.
I don’t have choco protein powder. Can you recommend a substitute?
Hi Anna, I’m sorry, but I really can’t recommend a substitute. I mean, you can use regular chocolate syrup or cocoa powder with sugar, but that kind of defeats the purpose of making it a spinach smoothie… :/
I didn’t have coco protein powder so I subbed it with 1/2 tbs of organic cocao powder and a 1tbs of coconut sugar. It tastes delicious!
Hello,
