Why you will love this recipe: 

  • The flavour! Eating this mint smoothie tastes like you are eating mint chocolate chip ice cream, except this version is way healthier! 
  • It’s so easy to make using simple ingredients like avocado, mint leaves, spinach and bananas. 
  • It’s a healthy snack or breakfast option.

  • It’s a great make ahead smoothie so it’s great for meal prep. 
  • This is a great post workout smoothie. 

Ingredients and substitutions: 

  • Coconut milk – this is my favourite non dairy milk but you could easily swap this for another milk option including dairy milk, almond milk, cashew milk or even oat milk. I personally recommend using full fat coconut milk to get all the healthy fats you can. 
  • Coconut butter or coconut manna – to add some extra healthy fats as well as some natural sweetness to this smoothie recipe.
  • Bananas – to add sweetness to this smoothie, while keeping it refined sugar free. 
  • Mint leaves – to give it the best, most refreshing mint flavour!
  • Spinach – to pump up the nutrition in this smoothie even more and help give it that beautiful green colour. 
  • Avocado – avocados are high in healthy fats as well as vitamins and minerals. They also help give this smoothie such a smooth, rich texture. 

How to make this recipe: 

Step one:

First, place all the ingredients into your blender or food processor. 

Step two:

Then blend until smooth. Then pour it into a bowl and enjoy. 

Chef’s tips: 

  • This smoothie is great for meal prep – simply prepare it the night before and store it in the fridge overnight. 
  • If you like a colder smoothie feel free to use frozen spinach or frozen bananas. 

Variations and add ins: 

  • If you like a sweeter smoothie add 1-2 tbsp of honey or maple syrup. 
  • Topping ideas for this smoothie bowl: cacao nibs, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, fresh berries including blueberries or blackberries. 
  • To increase the protein content add some grass fed gelatin powder. 
  • To increase the mint flavour add a teaspoon of mint extract.
