Mint Chip Smoothie
Makes 2 18 -Ounce Servings
Tucked beneath a very convincing ice cream-like flavor, a wealth of beneficial spinach awaits you in this smoothie. It’s so good it almost makes a person wonder why spinach isn’t used in all minty treats. I love how the cacao nibs provide a bit of dark-chocolate crunch without being overpowering.
Directions
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. Taste, and sweeten as desired.
SUPERFOOD BOOST
Add 1/4 teaspoon chlorella powder (or to taste).
