Keto Recipe: Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie


My grown up blender!

I finally got a grown up blender!

I’ve been living this whole time with the cheapest blender available and a super tiny food processor. Finally I decided it was time to be a real adult and now I have a nice big food processor and super amazing Blendtec blender!

I was amazed at the power in this blender and it is super easy to use! The first thing I decided to make was a Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie for my daughter and I! It’s a take on a recipe I have in my second cookbook, The Big Book of Keto, but it’s a little different. It is such a yummy treat or meal.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream or coconut cream

  • 3/4 cup of unsweetened, full fat coconut milk

  • 1-2 TSP of Choc Zero Vanilla Syrup

  • 5 Choc Zero Squares

  • 1 Choc Zero Square to shave on top of finished smoothie

  • 5-8 Fresh Mint Leaves

  • 1 TBSP of Cacao Powder

  • 1/2 an avocado

  • 1 scoop of MCT Oil Powder (optional, I used Perfect Keto)

  • 1 cup of ice

Makes 2 smoothies

DIRECTIONS

  1. Put liquid in the blender first, then solids, then ice.

  2. Blend it all up until fully combined.

  3. Pour into 2 glasses.

  4. Use a sharp knife to shave the chocolate square and place chocolate shavings on top of smoothie. I also like to add an additional fresh mint leaf for garnish.
