Mint Chocolate-Chip Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are one of those magical things that seem too completely good to be true. So you’re telling me, I can kill two birds with one stone and drink a smoothie that tastes like a milkshake while simultaneously slurping down a killer dose of fruits and veggies?! Um, I’m in.

This is one of those smoothies that just makes me spontaneously giddy and exuberant and grateful to be alive. One sip and I seriously consider building my own Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator so I can make it rain mint chocolate-chip smoothie. Then all the world will know of its minty deliciousness. I love it that much. Its gorgeous jade hue is the only giveaway of the spinach that lurks within. You absolutely cannot taste it. This is creamy and pepperminty and studded with chocolate, and since said chocolate is cacao nibs rather than traditional chocolate chips, it’s packin’ all the health benefits and none of the dairy, sugar or fat. There is pretty much no way anyone can talk any kind of shit on this smoothie. It’s bulletproof. So go ahead, make it rain.
