So I made this recipe and its good, but I also found that using half a banana instead of a whole one is way better for my taste It helps bring out the other flavors instead of mainly tasting like a chocolate banana smoothie. Also if you add in lightly sweetend hazelnut spread or Nutela it really help. I also found if you add more Ice and freeze some of the ingredients you can get way more of a shake consistancy.

In reply to Kristin. I've found that the amount needed varies a lot depending on the brand of extract that you use

In reply to Tatiana. I tried 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract and it was wayyyy too strong for me! Next time I'd at least halve it. Can always add more as you go.

I used just 1 tsp of peppermint extract. From the last time I tried to make a green chocolate peppermint smoothie, I learned that it was important to make sure the smoothie is sweet enough. Not too sweet! I have some tips for this one 🙂

•Use 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract so it isn’t overpowering. If you add too much, no amount of sweetener can save the shake!
•Freeze the banana chunks for an ice cream like texture (freezing a banana takes 2 hours)
•Avocado can make the smoothie more creamy. Don’t use more than 1/2 or you’ll definitely be able to taste it

Mmmmm, GREAT idea! I wonder what it would be to try both the banana AND the avocado simultaneously…? Perhaps 1/2 a banana and 1/4 avocado?

You’ve hit on the combo that would finally make a green smoothie drinker out of me, Lauren!

I’m always ok with a smoothie that is like a milkshake!

This is the bomb. I love how pretty it is. I’m a peppermint fanatic so this is right up my alley.
