If you like a mint and chocolate flavor profile, this is the smoothie for you. Packed full of antioxidants and does a body good goodness. Hemp seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds.. you don’t need to worry about adding all that FYI. Sakara Protein + Greens has you covered; All in one scoop in fact. And since our largest organ, our skin, radiates starting from the inside out, why wouldn’t use want to add the Agent Nateur pearl collagen calcium hair skin and nails powder supplement? Mint is for freshness. Kale because we need our greens. Cocoa nibs adds a bitter chocolate flavoring and which plays off the sweetness of the banana and pineapple’s acidity. Not to mention crunch. No added sugar with the unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Duh. There is a skosh of blue agave syrup though. Think if it as a balancing ingredient rather than sweet. Cinnamon a warming spice and blood sugar friendly.

Add all ingredients to the blending machine. I recommend adding powders after the almond milk as they have a tendency to sink to the bottom and/or clump. Blend until smooth. Pour into a bucket glass. Garnish with the cacao nibs and mint sprig.
