Mint Chip Smoothie


Peppermint has a wide variety of health benefits, from muscle pain relief to reducing hay fever.  One of the main reasons I love it, besides it's refreshing aroma and taste, is it's ability to soothe stomach discomforts and aid with congestion.

Mix that in with some healthy fats, potassium-filled bananas, power-house greens and antioxidant-rich chocolate, this nutritious and delicious smoothie will surely be enjoyed during your high times in health, or your low ones.





INGREDIENTS:

- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1 BPA-free can coconut milk (I use Native Forest)
- 3/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
- large handful spinach
- few ice cubes
- dark chocolate pieces or Enjoy life chocolate chips (to taste)
- optional: 1/4 cup chia-seed gel


DIRECTIONS:

1.  Place all ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth and creamy.

2.  Now stir in desired amount of chocolate chips, or just sprinkle individual servings.

3.  Serve immediately and enjoy!



Approximately 2-3 servings

  1. Nice post. Hope so that this is healthy too. Women are more prone to diseases because of their responsibility towards the family. They can take the women's choice noni juice in their regular diet to maintain good health.
