More Healthy Smoothies

I made more delicious smoothies using my Magic Bullet :)

Recipe 1 Minty Shamrock Shake
(inspired by McDonalds Shamrock Shakes)

1 cup almond milk
2 Tbsp fresh mint leaves
1/2 an avocado
1 cup packed spinach
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup ice

I know there is spinach snuck in there but you can't taste it, it's just a health boost.  Also you  may hesitate at the avocado but again you can't taste it and it helps make it creamy

Recipe 2 No Bake Cookie Shake
(Inspired by those chocolate-oatmeal blobs that are so delicious)

1 cup almond milk
2 Tbsp Nutella
1/2 cup oats
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup ice

This one is addictive, seriously... I had three last night.  It's slightly less healthy because Nutella isn't completely guilt free but there's not a whole lot in there and it's better than putting in ice cream or chocolate sauce.  For the deliciousness, it's still relatively healthy

Recipe 3 The Caffeinated Banana
(I forget where I got this recipe but it has accompanied my breakfast on many mornings)

1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup coffee
1 banana
1 Tbsp PB
1 cup ice

Now I don't like the taste of coffee so this is a good way to wake up in the morning for me because you can't taste the coffee at all, even when I make it extra strong (I use instant because I never drink coffee other than this so actually making a pot would be a colossal waste).  Mostly all you taste is the banana with a hint of peanut butter
