Green Chocolate Ice Cream



Summertime calls for ice cream but ice cream isn’t available to everyone’s diet.  It’s also not always the healthiest or lowest calorie dessert choice, but who wants to give up ice cream!?! I came across this amazing replacement for chocolate ice cream. It doesn’t look like chocolate ice cream but if you close your eyes and take a spoonful it will taste chocolaty and delicious! And the best part…it’s super healthy and full of lots of nutrients!
This is a great treat to freeze and have on hand whenever you get that craving for chocolate ice cream. Instead of going for the Ben & Jerry’s, you can whip out your chocolate green smoothie!

Ingredients:
  • Two handfuls fresh spinach
  • Almond milk – about ½ cup (less will make it thicker, more will make it thinner)
  •  One banana
  •   ½ avocado
  • 3 scoops of chocolate protein powder (I use Vega One - All in One Protein Powder)
  •  Handful of blueberries
  • Drizzle of honey (optional)


Place all ingredients in a blender or Nutribullet and blend to desired consistency. To make it the consistency of ice cream, freeze for at least an hour before serving. You could also add a handful of ice if you don’t have time to let it freeze before eating it. Enjoy!
