Ingredients Needed for This Healthy Chocolate Peppermint Yogurt Smoothie

• Organic Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk: Hemp milk, cashew milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or your favorite unsweetened variety will do. I’m preparing homemade hemp milk here (1 cup spring water + 1 tbsp of organic hemp seeds). If I’m not making it myself, trusted clean ingredient brands that go into my cart include Three Trees, MALK Organics, and Native Forest (guar gum-free coconut milk).
• Organic Plain Coconut Yogurt: The key ingredient to make this chocolate peppermint smoothie recipe super creamy without any dairy. Grab a plain flavor with minimal ingredients to receive all of the benefits in the most wholesome way possible. See my recommendations here!
• Organic Ground Flax Seeds: Rich in omegas, high in fiber, and full of a whole host of health advantages, these tiny seeds get blended right in.
• Organic Raw Cacao Powder: Not to be confused with Dutch-processed cocoa powder, organic raw cacao powder is full of antioxidants, magnesium, and mood-boosting chocolate goodness. Learn more here.
• Organic Vanilla Plant-Based Protein: A scoop levels up the creamy consistency, vanilla flavor, and makes this Chocolate Peppermint Yogurt Smoothie recipe truly filling and fueling. When scanning the shelves, be sure to grab one that is made with clean, real, and organic ingredients. Review my top picks here!
• Organic Peppermint Oil: Essential for this chocolate mint yogurt smoothie recipe. When selecting peppermint oil, be sure that it’s organic, food grade, and safe to ingest. It only takes a drop or two to enjoy all the peppermint essence.
• Celtic Sea Salt: A healthy pinch adds minerals and rounds out the festive flavors.
• Organic Frozen Banana: Half or whole, just be sure that it’s frozen to ensure that this Chocolate Peppermint Yogurt Smoothie is creamy, cold, and Christmas worthy!

How to Make This Chocolate Peppermint Protein Yogurt Smoothie

1. Blend the Liquids and Dry Ingredients. To a high-speed blender, add the non-dairy milk, coconut yogurt, and dry ingredients. Blend these ingredients until totally smooth.
2. Blend the Frozen Banana. Next, toss in the frozen banana chunks. Begin on the lowest speed, then gradually increase once the banana starts to integrate with the other ingredients. You may need to scrape down the sides or add more liquid depending on your desired consistency.
3. Serve. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy!

Mint Chocolate Yogurt Smoothie Recipe Additions

Wanting to take this Chocolate Peppermint Yogurt Smoothie recipe up a notch?! Below are a few smoothie inclusions that you can toss in to meet your wellness needs!

• Organic Greens: If you’re into green smoothies, throw in a handful to amp up the antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Fresh or frozen baby spinach is a great starter, as it’s neutral in flavor.
• Organic Nut Butter: Include a tablespoon of your favorite nut or seed butter to add even more healthy fats, plant protein, and creamy benefits. Organic raw cashew butter or organic raw almond butter would be my top picks!
• Organic Cacao Nibs: For a little crunch at every sip, toss in a teaspoon or two of organic cacao nibs to give this yogurt smoothie recipe a mint chocolate chip vibe!
• Organic Coffee: Need a boost during the holidays? Use half organic chilled coffee and half organic unsweetened milk to transform it into a mocha peppermint delight.

Tips to Nail This Creamy Chocolate Peppermint Yogurt Smoothie

As a daily smoothie maker/master, I have learned a few tips and tricks to nail the perfect blend every time. Apply these strategies and you’ll be a smoothie pro in no time!

1. The Machine Matters: If you’re serious about smoothies, then you know that a high-speed blender is a must. I highly recommend looking into a Vitamix, as their machines are unmatched and their customer service is top-notch. Be sure to put it on your Christmas list!
2. Frozen is Key: To achieve a super creamy blend, it’s best to use a frozen banana to achieve a thick consistency, without watering it down one bit.
3. Thick or Thin: If you love thick, like a milkshake smoothies, then you’re in the right place. However, if that’s not your smoothie style, don’t be afraid to add more liquid until you reach your desired consistency. I always recommend starting with ⅛ cup of additional liquid, as it’s a lot easier to add more.
4. Steps to Success: The smoothie instructions provided are my tried-and-true method of achieving the smoothest blend. It takes an extra minute or so, but it’s worth it!
5. Patience Required: When you add the frozen banana to the blender, it’s best to start on the lowest speed and then gradually crank it up as the banana starts to break down. Essentially, don’t jump the blender to the highest speed, walk away, and expect the perfect smoothie.
6. Chill It: Pop your serving glass in the freezer as you make your blend to enjoy a cold and creamy Chocolate Peppermint Yogurt Smoothie with every sip!
