MINT CHIP SMOOTHIE — my one pride and joy smoothie recipe. I love mint + chocolate together. It’s the most decadent taste, and it’s my go-to smoothie order. Dates add some sweetness so it tastes like dessert, but this smoothie ALSO has spinach so you can get in your greens, and some @ritual Essential Protein to add in a diverse source of protein. I am extremely picky when it comes to protein powders. I turn down most partnerships because I need protein powder to a) taste good & be subtle b) be plant-based and c) actually be a good source of protein. The Ritual Essential Protein checks all these boxes. It did not affect the taste of this smoothie at all — if anything, it enhanced it with its vanilla flavor (they also use vanilla bean extract sustainably harvested in Madagascar). Each serving has 20g of pea protein and contains all 9 essential amino acids!
