This refreshing smoothie was inspired by the grasshopper mint pie with Oreo crust my mom used to make on special occasions.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

• 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder

• 2 cup raw spinach packed

• 2 Tbsp fresh mint leaves

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract

• 2 Tbsp Dark Chocolate coconut butter

• 2 cups ice

• Stevia to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Blend all ingredients except coconut butter to desired consistency. Sweeten with stevia to taste.

2. Add coconut butter and blend on lowest setting for 2 to 3 seconds, leaving it chunky so that it mimics the consistency of chocolate chips. YUM!
