Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie

April 1, 2012 by Leanne Vogel July 21, 2017

Thick, sweet and delicious mint chocolate chip smoothie with no extracts or artificial flavors.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 peppermint tea bag
• 1/2 cup non dairy milk – I used unsweetened rice milk
• 2 cups spinach
• 1 medium frozen banana
• 2 tablespoon hemp hearts
• 6 ice cubes
• 3 tablespoon non-dairy chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

To be prepared at least 30 minutes in advance:

1. Steep the tea in the 1/2 cup boiling water until ready to use in the smoothie so that it’s really concentrated. Wait until the water has cooled, about 30 minutes. I just make my tea at night and let it sit on the counter overnight.
2. Place all ingredients but chocolate chips in your blender in the order of the ingredients listed. blend for 30 seconds or until smooth.
3. Drop in half of the chocolate chips and pulse quickly.
4. Pour into a cup and top with leftover chocolate.

Notes

To boost the detoxifying and cleansing properties of this smoothie, you could add chlorella or spirulina powder!
