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.

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

🧾 Ingredients

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.

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.
