Oh I know, I know, I need an intervention.
My name is Bex and I am a Choc Mintaholic. It has been… ummm… about 7 minutes since my last hit.
BUT (and in my defence!), not to be confused with my other favourites, Choc Mint Mousse, Choc Mint Slices with Choc Ganache, and Mint Choc Chip Smoothie – the Choc Mint Smoothie has so much more to give!
The banana, cacao and cashews combine to provide a silky chocolate base whilst the mint and vanilla play tag on your tongue. Who could resist, I ask you?
Not me, evidently. xx
Choc Mint Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1/4 cup raw cashews pre-soaked in a covered bowl of water in the fridge overnight, then drained and rinsed

- 2 medjool dates pitted (pre-soaking optional)

- Handful of ice
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in blender, liquids first.
- Blend on low speed, then high, until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into glasses, garnish with raw cacao nibs and fresh mint leaves, and enjoy!
Well, I already make your mint choc chip smoothie at least twice a week so I’m sure I’ll end up borderline obsessed with this one as well!
hehe, you and me both, Katie. 🙂 x
You just keep going with your bad chocolate-mint self, girl!!
Love, love, LOVE the stuff! 🙂
Yessss…choc-mint is the BEST flavour combo. I love it too 🙂
Oooh, I’m totally pinning this! My smoothie adventure starts next week and this one sounds delicious!!
My blender broke 🙁 but when I buy a new one (hello payday Tuesday!), I’ll be making THIS smoothie to pop its smoothie-making cherry 😀
This smoothie looks good enough to be addictive! Chocolate and mint are always a great combination!
Aren’t they, though! I’m truly addicted. 🙂
