Start with the liquid base by adding almond milk to your blender. This helps blend the solid ingredients evenly.
Add the heavy cream or coconut cream for richness and creaminess.
Add fresh spinach if using. This will blend into a smooth, vibrant green base without affecting taste.
Add the peppermint extract—start with ½ teaspoon and adjust after tasting.
Add the sweetener of your choice.
Add vanilla extract to balance the flavors.
Add the ice cubes to help thicken the smoothie.
If using optional ingredients, add collagen powder and MCT oil.
Blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds, until smooth and creamy.
Add the sugar-free chocolate chips last and pulse the blender 3–5 times to distribute without over-blending.
Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately.
