Ingredients
Instructions
Blend the base:
-
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine frozen bananas, mint leaves, spinach, protein powder, and soy milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add chocolate chips:
-
Fold in chocolate chips gently or pulse a few times to mix them evenly.
-
Freeze for firmness:
Transfer to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture.
Serve:
-
Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with extra mint leaves or chocolate chips.
Note
- To avoid adding any sweeteners, use very ripe bananas.
- If not, adjust sweetness by adding a little maple syrup or agave if needed.
- For extra minty flavor, increase the amount of fresh mint.
- Spinach adds color and nutrients without overpowering the mint flavor.
