Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie Recipe

Want to know the key to a successful day? A power breakfast!

When you eat the right combo of foodstuffs first thing in the morning, you infuse your body with nutrients that fire up your brain, awaken your body, and fight later-day hunger and cravings.

Smoothies, when done correctly, pack in a TON of nutrients, including fat, fiber and protein - the three key elements to a well-balanced meal.

This delicious gluten, dairy and soy -free combo contains mood boosting cacao, energizing greens, digestion supportive fiber, anti-aging antioxidants, blood sugar balancing protein and craving curbing minerals. And the best part is it tastes like ice cream (that’s 100% nutritionist-approved)!
