Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even more indulgent touch, you can add a tablespoon of mint syrup to intensify the mint flavor in the smoothie! 🌱

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The texture turns grainy and separated after thawing. Blended bananas frozen separately are an option.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Oxidizes and separates quickly, losing its freshness and texture.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

For the next morning. Keeps 24h max in the fridge in a full airtight bottle to limit oxidation.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable. Cold drink, do not reheat.

Variations

Replace the almond milk with another plant-based milk or cow's milk.
Freeze the bananas in chunks for a thicker, colder smoothie.
Add a spoonful of cocoa for a more chocolatey taste.

Mistakes to avoid

Using too much mint: 15 g is enough, otherwise the flavor overpowers the chocolate and banana.
Blending too little: blend until smooth and creamy.
Waiting to drink it: enjoy it right away to get the full freshness.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a chocolate mint smoothie?

Peel and cut the bananas into chunks, put them in the blender with the almond milk, fresh mint and chocolate chips, then blend until smooth and creamy.

How do you get a colder smoothie?

Add crushed ice to the blender after the first blend, then blend again for a colder texture. Then pour into glasses and top with chocolate chips.

Which bananas should you use for a smoothie?

Choose very ripe bananas: they are sweeter and blend more easily into a creamy texture. Two bananas are enough for 2 glasses with 250 ml of almond milk.

What does a chocolate mint smoothie taste like?

It is reminiscent of mint chocolates like After Eight: the freshness of the fresh mint contrasts with the sweetness of the banana and chocolate chips. It is best served cold.
