Mint Chocolate Chip Power Smoothie (serves 2)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk, hemp, coconut or rice milk
8 pitted dates
1/4 cup shelled hemp seeds
1/4 cup cashews (sunflower seeds and pistachios are great too)
2 heaping teaspoons powdered greens (I prefer Vitamineral Green by Health Force Nutritionals)
20 fresh mint leaves (or 1 teas. pure mint extract)
3 cups ice
1/4 cup cacao nibs
Put all ingredients in a high powered blender (I use a Vitamix) and blend until smooth. You can also use a conventional blender, just add more liquid and less ice.
