Raw Mint Chocolate Chip "Shake"

raw mint chocolate shake
Honestly, how in the world does one come up with a raw mint chocolate smoothie? People leave me in awe some times with their brilliant creativity. This looks and sounds delicious and more importantly, incredibly satisfying. Nida brings this recipe to us this week for her weekly Tuesday post on Raw/Vegan recipes and tips. Wonderful find! W.P

As if you need an excuse to have chocolate and mint... I am on a "give me chocolate or ill have your head" kick. So..... here it is, my way of not downing a bag of raw or gluten free chocolate chip cookies ;) and pretending that the giant vat of green tea will negate it. I love that its chunky enough to be a sundae with the cacao bits and soft enough to be a smoothie, add crushed ice to make it even chunkier!

Makes: Two 18 -ounce servings
  • 2 cups frozen spinach
  • 2 cups frozen bananas
  • 1⁄4 cup raw cashews
  • 3 tablespoons cacao nibs
  • 2 tablespoons (packed) fresh mint leaves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rice milk (original variety)
  • 1⁄2 cup coconut water
  • Sweetener, to taste (optional)
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. Taste, and sweeten as desired.

Superfood Boost: Add 1/4 teaspoon chlorella or green tea matcha
