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
