    Healthy Mint Smoothie

    Who says milkshakes can't be healthy? This Healthy Mint Chocolate Smoothie is like dessert for breakfast yet it's full of protein!  {gluten free}

    Healthy Mint Chocolate Smoothie - healthy dessert for breakfast that is full of protein {gluten free}

    Yes, it's true, two smoothie recipes in a row.  What am I thinking?  Sorry, but I cannot possibly share another baking recipe.  This blog is supposed to be healthy yet I keep sharing sweets!  I like to balance out all those holiday cookies with this Healthy Mint Chocolate Protein Smoothie.

    It's creamy and satisfying and seriously tastes like a milkshake.  It has no added sugar but you can add a tablespoon of pure maple syrup if you need it.  I sprinkled mine with crushed peppermints but you can leave that off for the vegan, paleo and Whole30 version.

    This Healthy Mint Chocolate Smoothie is...

    • naturally sweet
    • minty
    • full of rich chocolate flavor
    • creamy
    • gluten free
    • vegan, paleo, and Whole30 without the crushed peppermint
    • protein filled

    Healthy Mint Chocolate Smoothie - healthy dessert for breakfast that is full of protein {gluten free}

    I have lofty goals for the holidays this year.  I am determined to watch way too many movies while gorging on carb-loaded goodies.  We are going to catch up with the cousins who we haven't seen in ages.  My kids (and I) are going to wear our pajamas all day long and play way too many rounds of Madden17 on the Xbox.

    I promise to let my laundry pile high while I sit on the couch. My kitchen will be a huge mess because Maddie and I are making dozens and dozens of cookies for friends and neighbors.  It's going to be fantastic!

    So join me!  Relax and enjoy every second you have with family and loved ones.  It's easy to get caught up in all the happenings during the holidays and not be in the moment. Take a deep breath and focus on what's important → family, friends and loved ones!

    Happiest of Holidays to each and every one of you! xo
