This smoothie recipe tastes like a mint chip gelato in a cup! It is a great way to start your day with hidden greens blended in from the spinach and greens powder and polyphenols from the cacao nibs! The vanilla protein powder provides your body with protein for muscle repair and recovery as well as the amino acids required for collagen synthesis to occur. It also provides a natural sweetness to the smoothie with no need for any added sugars, along with the banana which also provides your body with extra fibre and carbohydrates for energy.
INGREDIENTS
1/2-1 cup plant milk (adjust amount depending on how thick or thin you like your smoothies)
30g vanilla plant protein powder (I use Nyrtur)
4 cubes frozen spinach or kale
1 frozen banana (ripe for sweetness)
1 tsp peppermint extract
1 tsp greens powder
1 tbsp cacao nibs (+ extra for topping)
METHOD
Place all ingredients in a high power blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into your favourite glass, top with extra cacao nibs and enjoy!
