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 tbsp hemp hearts
•6 ice cubes
•3 tbsp non-dairy chocolate chips, divided
Directions
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.
To boost the detoxifying and cleansing properties of this smoothie, you could add chlorella or spirulina powder!
