Without a doubt, smoothies are one of my most favourite parts of life. You can put anything your heart desires in, like a grown up Build-a-Bear for food. Add, taste, increase this, enhance that, drink it all up. What’s there not to love about smoothies?

The Mr. and I just returned from an amazing first wedding anniversary in Tulum, Mexico. That meant one week away from the blog on vacation, and a week coming back just to recover from the vacation. Honestly, it was one of the best trips of my life. Vegetarian meals done like I’ve never had before, with fresh, seasonal ingredients so delicious that it’s hard to describe! I have so many great inspirational ideas for recipes to recreate and share and I can’t wait to share our vacation photos with you. I also took some time to unplug which although we’ve all heard is good for you, is actually GREAT for you. Seriously, spending the week by the beach, swimming in cenotes along fish and having the best Mexican food of your life needed to be done without being attached to my laptop.

One thing that is needed after a week of endless mezcal drinks on the beach is definitely a green smoothie. I was literally craving a green smoothie upon returning home and couldn’t possibly drink this down faster. There’s something insanely satisfying about the taste, the cleansing feeling and that I’m ready to take on the world feeling it gives you. I decided to have some fun with this one so themed it after one of my favourite combinations of mint and chocolate chips. The base ingredients here are lots of spinach, a frozen banana, vegan protein powder, and Silk Almondmilk Original. I don’t think I’ve ever made a smoothie without some version of Silk Almondmilk or Cashewmilk to be honest. It’s so creamy, a great smoothie base taste that doesn’t conflict with the other ingredients and is perfectly plant based. I used cacao nibs and added in lots of coconut in the form of coconut meat and flakes.

What you get is a delicious, creamy and super minty green smoothie. It’s not fake minty flavour, but a lovely natural flavour. You also get lots of great protein and a 100% plant based smoothie that will take you from that amazing indulgent vacation right back to being a super hero in real life, one to do list item at a time.
