Chocolate Green Smoothie

1 large ripe banana
2 cups spinach
1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
Water

You can adjust the amounts to suit your tastes. You can also swap the spinach for other greens, but spinach is my favorite! I have this every morning. I usually add enough water to make almost 4 cups.

Nikki,

Thank you for submitting your chocolate green smoothie recipe. It looks terrifically delicious! Why not enjoy a chocolate treat while getting the benefits from the greens! I will have to try this smoothie tomorrow for breakfast.

That only thing that I would add is to use a frozen banana or add ice. As I like cold smoothies. But that is just the way I like smoothies. :)

I just might try using the baby kale leaves that are in my garden instead of the spinach. I'll see how strong the flavor is compared the the full grown kale leaves. Otherwise, spinach leaves are the way to go.

Again, thank you!

Happy Blending!
