HEALTHY CHOC MINT SMOOTHIE
Smoothies are one of my favourite ways to jam pack a whole lot of goodness into one, easy, on the go meal. Whilst my Bodhi Green Smoothie continually proves to be the most popular of all, my healthy choc mint smoothie is a very close runner up. How can you go wrong with chocolate and mint right? To ensure this smoothie ticks all the boxes, I’ve included extra veggies hidden into the mix to boost the nutritional bang for your buck. The great news is, you can’t taste them! Therefore, making it a perfect option for fussy kids – and fussy adults.
