Mint Chocolate Green Smoothie Recipe | Food Faith Fitness (1)

Ohgreen smoothie recipepacked with healthy greenery and creamy, vanilla, protein-goodness, where have you been all of the 24 years of my life?

You guys. I thought that I was living in Washington until I up and made this smoothie.

And then I realized that I was living in “The Land of LIES.”

Up until my taste buds met the (really cute and stripey!!) straw, they were completely and TOTALLY anti green smoothies.

I mean, a kale salad recipe? GIMME DAT. But, kale all blender-ized up and sipped through a straw.

Umm. No thanks. I like to chew my vegetal friends please.

BUT, when I had the opportunity to make a little recipe magic with my new Blendtec Designer 725, I knew that I wanted to see how it would fare in the land of smoothie making.

Remember when Mr.FFF made his recipe debut with the pear smoothie and I told you that I am just not a smoothie sipper? I mean, unless it’s a chocolate avocado smoothie from Texanerin, that is.

WELL. The reason is because everysingletime I have ever made ANY SMOOTHIE.…it basically just turns out as icey water. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pineapple smoothie, an avocado smoothie bowl or a banana vanilla orange smoothie. THEY’RE ALL ICY.

No thank you, the sequel.

So, I wanted to see if the Blendtec would finally give me that thick, SUPA creamy texture that I was craving.

Literally. I crack myself up.

Anywhayzzz.

Well, my peepsie-doodles, when I turned it on and the power BLEW MY UTENSILS off the counter (LIKE WHOA) I knew I was in for a treat.

There was definitely no sign of the icey-icky-watery smoothies of days past. The Blendtec made this green smoothie recipesoooo CR to the EAMY.

Whatever that means.

Now, I can’t lie to you. I wasn’t even planning on adding kale because I was still a little bit 0_o about the whole leafy greens in my beverages shenanigans.

BUT, what is a mint chocolate chip smoothie if it isn’t GREEN?

ONE BIG LIE. That’s what.

Apparently I have lies on the brain today. Let’s not start getting all deep and inquisitive and wondering why that may be capeesh?

I had some leftover K-izzle (the super trendy name for kale. That I just invented) in the fridge so I decided to just DO IT. AANNND in it went.

I was nervous.

I pressed the power button. BUZZ SHRED BUZZ went the kale.

Green went the smoothie.

“SUCCESS” went the Taylor. BUT, how would it taste?

Oh, ya know, like a MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP MILKSHAKE. That is easy a keto smoothie if you use sugar free chocolate chips.

But…healthy

But…kale.
