Believe it or not, I don’t like mint and chocolate. Or, I thought I didn’t. It seems that I do. A lot. Weird. My guess is that I don’t like mint chocolate ice cream. Or maybe I don’t like fake mint. Who knows?! This, on the other hand, is pretty good.
This one tastes like dessert but it’s doing a lot behind the scenes. It’s cool, chocolatey, and full of good stuff – with no chocolate chips and no added sweeteners in sight. Think rich cacao, refreshing mint, and a creamy base with hints of caramel from the dates and figs.
Figs bring fibre, natural sweetness, and a surprising amount of calcium and iron. Cacao nibs add crunch and richness while delivering magnesium, iron and antioxidants. Mint isn’t just for flavour either – it’s known to help with digestion and can be surprisingly calming. Hemp seeds and avocado bring healthy fats and a protein boost, and the wheatgrass adds a dash of minerals and chlorophyll to round things off.
No nasties, no chips, and no regrets. Just a proper nutrient-packed, refreshing smoothie with a sweet chocolate-mint twist
I’ve not tested, but I’m pretty sure a scoop of vanilla protein powder would go well in this!
3/4tsp.
