Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie

Ingredients

1/2 cup boiling water

1 peppermint tea bag

1/2 cup non-dairy milk (rice, coconut or hemp)

2 cups spinach

1 medium frozen banana

2 Tbsp. hemp seeds

6 ice cubes

3 Tbsp. non-dairy chocolate chips, divided

Directions

To be prepared at least 30 minutes in advance: Steep the tea in the 1/2 cup boiling water until ready to use in the smoothie so that it’s really concentrated. Wait until the water has cooled, about 30 minutes. I just make my tea at night and let it sit on the counter overnight. Place all ingredients but chocolate chips in your blender in the order of the ingredients listed. Blend for 30 seconds or until smooth. Drop in half of the chocolate chips and pulse quickly. Pour into a cup and top with leftover chocolate.
