Superfood Chocolate Mint Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups coconut milk (for making coconut milk ice cubes)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 frozen avocado or banana
• 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
• 2 scoops grass-fed collagen
• 1-2 tablespoons raw honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract or 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon spirulina powder – optional
• 1/2 teaspoon whole food vitamin C powder – optional, but helps the collagen work better in the body
• Raw cocoa nibs, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, etc. for serving – optional

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a high powered blender.
2. Blend until the smoothie is thick and fully combined. Note – I use the ice cream setting on my blender. If you’re not using a high powered blender, you will most likely need to add more liquid in order for the smoothie to blend. More liquid will end up producing a thinner smoothie consistency.
3. Taste the smoothie and if desired, add more honey or peppermint extract.
4. Pour smoothie into glasses. Serve as is or top with raw cacao nibs and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Drink up!
