This easy Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie is a healthy way to start your day. Made with healthy fat and protein.
Oh how I love this time of year. The makers of soy milk and coconut milk have their seasonal drinks out; nog, pumpkin spice, and mint chocolate. I always stock up on more than enough, to make the special occasion last.
I used mint chocolate coconut milk (in a carton) in this Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie, which is almost dessert like. I have also included avocado, to add some creaminess, and because avocados are healthy and filling.
Another recipe I made with one of my favorite seasonal drinks is French Toast with Vegan Nog. It is a real treat during the holidays.
Instructions
Mix frozen banana, avocado, mint chocolate plant based milk (I used coconut milk in a carton), cacao powder or chocolate protein powder in a Nutribullet or high speed blender. Add cacao nibs or chocolate chips and pulse to keep them crunchy.
Other Add-ins
Here are some other ingredients that I like to put in my smoothies.

- Matcha green tea
- Turmeric powder (plus a little black pepper for absorption)

Can It Be kept Overnight in The Fridge?
You could, but I don't recommend it. Smoothies are best made fresh, so that you get all the nutrients.
