Dreamy Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie

We’re having our kitchen renovated, and it’s turning out to be more of a hassle than I’d anticipated. I’ve learned several new quick methods for preparing healthy food, but have relied heavily on smoothies for protein and veggies in the evening.

Ingredients

¼ cup plain yogurt
¼ cup coconut milk (canned)
1 cup frozen spinach (or 3-4 cups fresh)
½ cup ice cubes (4-5 large cubes)
½ medium banana (or a whole, if you'd like it sweeter!)
1 tablespoon plain whey protein
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Add smoothie ingredients (except chocolate chips), liquids first, to a blender. A high speed blender will work best, but try adding a bit of almond milk if using a regular blender and having difficulty getting it going. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes.
Once the spinach and ice are completely blended, the smoothie should look like fluffy like mint ice cream. Taste, and adjust peppermint extract to taste. Add 1 tsp honey if using, and blend until incorporated.
Add chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, and pulse for 10-20 seconds, leaving the chocolate in small pieces but not completely blended in.
