Ingredients
  

  • Main Ingredients
  • 1 packed cup fresh spinach
  • 1 frozen banana medium, sliced before freezing
  • Seasonings Sauces, or Flavor Base
  • 6 –8 fresh mint leaves start small, add more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pantry Staples
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk almond, oat, or soy
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed optional
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

Instructions
 

  • Add plant-based milk to the blender first.
  • Add spinach, frozen banana, mint leaves, cocoa powder, vanilla, and chia seeds (if using).
  • Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in chocolate chips or cacao nibs, or pulse once briefly to distribute.
  • Taste and adjust—add more mint for freshness or banana for sweetness if needed.
  • Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Start with fewer mint leaves—too much can overpower the smoothie.
  • Frozen banana is essential for a thick, milkshake-like texture.
  • Too much cocoa can dull the green color and add bitterness.
