Chocolate Green Smoothie

Recipes

8 Feb

Chocolate Green Smoothie | GoodGirlGoneGreen.comI am a big green smoothie gal. Sometimes my smoothies are a bright green color and other times, the greens are hidden and you'd never know spinach or kale are on the ingredient list. Usually the latter is a great option for kids—that's why this chocolate green smoothie recipe is a win-win for everyone. Kids get a delish chocolate shake and you get to fill their tummies with healthy greens, like spinach. I'd admit sometimes I just want a chocolate smoothie too, and throw in some greens for good measure.

Chocolate Green Smoothie Benefits

I love this particular smoothie because it's loaded with:

  • cacao antioxidants
  • potassium and fiber from the bananas
  • protein from the almond milk

If you're a green smoothie drinker—or even if you're not—you'll love this chocolate smoothie recipe!  [print_this]

The Chocolate Green Smoothie Recipe

Yields: 3 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 1 1/2 cups of homemade almond milk or use 1 1/2 cups water and 1/3 cup of almonds, blend
  • 3 Tbsp or more of cacao powder and/or chocolate protein powder
  • 2 Tbsp of almond butter or any nut or seed butter would work
  • 4 dates, soaked until soft or 2-3 Tbsp of maple syrup
  • Cinnamon to taste
  • Large handful of spinach

Method

  1. Place all the ingredients, except the frozen bananas in a high powdered blender. Blend until well combined.
  2. Add the frozen bananas, and blend until smooth.
  3. Serve chilled. I put my chocolate green smoothie in the freezer to make it extra cold. [/print_this]
