Notes
- Toppings for the smoothie are not included but protein granola or coconut whip cream are pretty tasty!
- Though you can use fresh banana for the chocolate mint smoothie, frozen banana will work better.
- Opt for unsweetened almond milk for the recipe as you don't need the extra sugar in the mint chocolate smoothie (I promise!).
- Coconut milk from a can is a great addition to the top of the smoothie.
