    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 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 tablespoon 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.
