Dairy Free Healthy Protein Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie
It may look like an a McDonald’s seasonal Shamrock Shake, but it’s far from it. This Mint Chocolate Smoothie is made with real fresh mint, dark chocolate (which boosts energy!), and protein. Then, it’s sweetened with honey. Add spinach for iron, spirulina powder (great for overall health), banana (potassium), and non-dairy milk (your favorite milk). Finally, there’s vanilla (for flavor), and peppermint (keep those headaches away).
How to Make a Dairy-free and Super Healthy Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add honey if more sweetness is desired and more peppermint if you’d like more mint flavor.

Skip the long drive-thru and get your chocolate mint drink at home. This smoothie creamy, sweet, and filling smoothie is great for Breakfast, Dessert, or Both!
