Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie

This smoothie is my absolute favorite! It tastes incredible and has the greens you need. Trust me, not even your toughest critic will be ale to sense the green goodness in this one!:) If you're a mint chocolate chip fan...this smoothie will do the trick!

Serves 1
1/2 banana (frozen works best)
1c. unsweetened almond milk
1/4tsp. peppermint extract
1 large handful of spinach( you can use kale greens, but they have a stronger flavor so use less)
1 scoop of protein powder( i use healthy'n'fit egg white protein)
1tsp. cacao nibs(you can also use chocolate or carob chips, but cacao has more nutritional value:)
1/2-1c. crushed ice
I have also added 1/2 an avacado to this and it makes it very creamy! But totally optional:)
Blend until smooth....its better to add cacao nibs at the end so you still get a crunch:)
