Method
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
- Measure all liquid ingredients, cocoa powder, sweetener, and mint. If using fresh mint, wash the leaves thoroughly and chop them roughly.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
- In a high-speed blender, combine almond milk, heavy cream or coconut cream, cocoa powder, sweetener, peppermint extract (or fresh mint), ice cubes, and protein powder if using.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
- Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Ensure no large ice chunks remain, and the mint is fully incorporated.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust Sweetness
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary. Add a little more powdered sweetener if desired. Blend again briefly to combine.
Step 5: Serve
- Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Top with sugar-free whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa nibs. Serve immediately for the best texture.
