Chocolate Minty Smoothie
Looking for some interesting breakfast - “after 8 style” :) ? A smoothie is always a good ideea. If you like the mint - chocolate combination give it a try. This recipe is also vegan, sugar and gluten free so everybody is happy. Forgot to mention the healthy fats. :)
The minty layer
Coconut rice drink, banana, oat flakes, raw cashew, a tea spoon of fresh grated lemon zest, lemon juice just a half lemon squeeze and 5-6 fresh mint leaves (or half tea spoon if dried leaves). I blended them at medium speed for about 1 minute.
The chocolate layer
Coconut rice drink, avocado, cocoa powder, raw almonds, dates and oat flakes. I blended them at medium speed for about 1 minute and a half.
Mix the two layers in the serving bowl or glass according to you preferences. I let the minty layer in the middle but it is up to you…
I grated some 100% dark chocolate over the top but you can also sprinkle some cocoa powder if you like…
