Ok, I know what you are thinking…. a Chocolate GREEN Smoothie? I promise you, you won’t even know it’s there!
After all of that heavy holiday food, I thought a light smoothie may be in order. This one contains just a handful of healthy ingredients. They include: Chocolate-Flavored Coconut Water, bananas, ice, cocoa powder, agave, spinach and ground flax seed.
This recipe uses Organic Cocozia brand Chocolate Flavored Coconut Water. You can check out my review on their new product here…
I am also going to try this recipe with my favorite SO Delicious! Almond Milk Vanilla Ice Cream in lieu of the bananas to make a shake out of it. I think that would be pretty awesome as well. You can absolutely not taste the spinach. It’s just chocolately goodness that just so happens to be good FOR you.
