If you’re craving a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone or a box of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies, blend up this smoothie recipe from Julianne Hough instead. Just like these classic treats, her smoothie offers the classic blend of mint and chocolate you’re craving but can easily stand in for a healthy breakfast!
Greek yogurt provides the protein-rich base, and a full cup of vitamin-A-rich spinach that you won’t even be able to taste is tossed into the mix. After taking a sip, you’re sure to agree with Julianne in saying, “I think I’m in heaven.”

I tried this and it wasn’t really sweet enough for me. I found that adding a truvia packet and a wee bit of chocolate syrup did the trick. My blender also had a little trouble grinding up those chocolate chips.
