Ingredients

  • 1 cup Coconut Milk (240ml)
  • ½ cup Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 2 cups Baby Spinach (60g)
  • ¼ teaspoon Peppermint Extract
  • 4 Medium Frozen Bananas (400g) previously peeled, quartered and frozen
  • 2 ounces Chopped Dark Chocolate (56g)

Instructions

  • Add the coconut milk to the blender jug along with the mint leaves, baby spinach and peppermint extract and blend.
  • Add the frozen bananas and blend until thick and smooth.
  • Pour out into 2 glasses and top with chopped dark chocolate.

Notes

  1. Coconut milk. I used full fat coconut milk for this recipe. You could use a light coconut milk or any non-dairy milk of your choice if you wanted to make a lighter version.
  2. Frozen bananas. You need to have frozen bananas on hand that have been frozen for at least 12 hours (and preferably longer). If you like smoothies, then always freeze your excess ripe bananas. Peel, quarter and place them into a freezer bag to freeze so you're good to go for smoothies anytime.
  3. Chopped dark chocolate. This is perfect to top your smoothie for a decadent chocolate chip look. However, it's completely optional, or you can switch it for vegan chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
