    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.

    One of the ways I made this Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie is with mint chocolate coconut milk (in a carton), which is almost dessert-like. You can also use soy milk, cacao powder, and mint extract if you make this any other time of the year.

    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.

    You may also like my Chocolate Mojito Kombucha recipe. It has chocolate, mint, and lime. A dessert to try is my Chocolate Peppermint Truffles recipe.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is sweet and rich.
    • It tastes like dessert, but it is healthy.
    • It's made in minutes.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Banana: Adds sweetness and a creamy texture.
    • Avocado: Adds a creamy texture.
    • Soy milk: You can use any dairy-free milk you like. If it's the holidays you could also use mint chocolate plant-based milk, which is easy to find at most grocery stores or health food stores.
    • Cacao powder (or cocoa powder): Adds chocolaty flavor. You could also use a scoop of chocolate all-in-one shake or your favorite protein powder. Another smoothie recipe using cacao powder is my Chocolate Coffee Smoothie recipe.
    • Mint extract: Adds a mint flavor. You could also use peppermint extract, like I did in my Vegan Mint Hot Chocolate recipe.
    • Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup or date paste.
    • Chocolate chips or cacao nibs: For some crunch.

    Step 2: Add chocolate chips or cacao nibs and pulse to keep them crunchy.

    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.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    What's the difference between a smoothie and a milkshake?

    A smoothie has healthy ingredients like fruit, greens, and protein powder. A milkshake has milk and ice cream. This vegan smoothie tastes like a milkshake but is quite healthy.

    How do you thicken a smoothie?

    You can thicken a smoothie with vegan yogurt, frozen fruit, chia seeds, nut butter, or an avocado, like in this smoothie recipe.
