Prepare this rich and refreshing smoothie for a quick, nutrient-dense breakfast featuring dark chocolate and mint.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 frozen banana, chopped
  • 1/2 cup packed spinach
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4-6 ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the almond milk, frozen banana, spinach, cocoa powder, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), peppermint extract, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
  2. Add the ice cubes last.
  3. Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  4. Pour the smoothie into a glass.
  5. If desired, sprinkle the dark chocolate chips on top before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie, reduce the almond milk slightly or add a few more ice cubes.
  • If you do not have peppermint extract, use 3-4 fresh mint leaves, but the flavor will be milder.
  • Use a high-quality dark cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
