Are you sticking to your healthy eating plan, but craving some chocolate?
Then this delicious chocolate and mint green smoothie is for you. It’s filling and satisfying and will keep you going until lunchtime. Or drink it as an energy-giving snack mid-morning or to fight off the afternoon slump. Packed full of fiber, protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins, plus healthy fats that will help to lower your cholesterol thus reducing your risk of heart disease. And there are Medjool dates for sweetness making this smoothie a winner.
The recipe is from the girls at SimpleGreenSmoothies. They say …
The combination of cacao powder and fresh mint leaves will give you that chocolatey-mint flavor you’ve been craving, but instead of packing in the fat and calories, you’ll be packing in nutrients from spinach, and avocados! It’s really a win-win. When the Girl Scout cravings hit, reach for this smoothie instead.
