FROSTY MINT SMOOTHIE with CHOCOLATE

This was probably subconsciously inspired by a recipe I saw on Instagram from @sobeautifullyraw (Sam). Their pics are way better than mine because the lighting was AWFUL this afternoon. Like, I was actually angry at the weather. Angry. But I'm trying to keep goin with this regular posting thing so we'll all just have to deal with these crappy photos. Please forgive me and keep reading my blog.

FROSTY MINT SMOOTHIE with CHOCOLATE 

Smoothie:
2 frozen bananas
1 orange
1 teaspoon dried mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon spirulina powder
1/4 cup walnuts, preferably soaked in water for 4 hours then rinsed
1-2 cups water or vegan milk

Raw chocolate:
1 tablespoon cacao powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla powder
Pinch Himalayan salt
Water, if needed

To make the smoothie: blend all ingredients together until smooth, sweet and green! Adjust according to taste. Add more spirulina if it's not green enough for ya. Add more liquid if it's too thick.

To make the chocolate: stir together the ingredients until you have chocolate sauce. Decorate the inside of a glass with the chocolate using a spoon. Pour in the smoothie and enjoy!

NOTES: you can use fresh mint or a few drops of peppermint essential oil instead of dried mint, and really change this recipe up as much as you like! Do what works for you!
