Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk - or your favorite plant milk
  • 1/4 cold water
  • 2 large handfuls fresh baby spinach
  • 1 handful fresh mint leaves stems removed - about 1/4 of a big bunch - adjust to your taste
  • 1-2 dates or 1 Tbls maple syrup or date syrup or to taste
  • 2 large bananas frozen cut into slices
  • 1 Tbls golden flax meal
  • 1 1/4 cups crushed ice or ice cubes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Cacao Nibs or mini chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Place everything (except the cacao nibs or chocolate chips) in the blender and process until smooth and creamy. Taste and add more mint leaves, sweetener and ice if desired. Add in the cacao nibs and process for just seconds to break them up enough that they will fit through the straw but not totally blend them up so you can  still see little flecks of nibs through out the smoothie.
  2. Makes 32 ounces of smoothie.
