This morning I was craving some greens! Spinach, lots of spinach and I surely didn't want a salad with my java. I decided to make a super smoothie loaded with spinach and fresh herbs from the garden! Our chocolate mint plant is constantly offering new leaves to be enjoyed. I honestly don't use it enough so I grabbed a handful and threw it in the shake.
Combined with raw almonds, fresh mango, bananas, a few frozen strawberries, dates, chlorella and a sprinkle of chia seeds on top! Opt to add in some hemp protein powder and you'll truly be fueled for the day!
Blend together and top with sprig of chocolate mint or your favorite herb!
This shake even had the bugs attention. Look very closely at the right side of the glass. :)
Bright, fresh, wholesome, raw, green - very green!
