Pray often. Eat your veggies. Move your body. Love yourself + others.
Created entirely by accident, this recipe is the result of my love for green smoothies and late night sweet tooth.
I’ve got a thing for warm beverages in the winter months. In fact, the passenger seat of my car looks a bit like the thermo mug clearance isle at target. I’m always on the go with warm lemon water, yogi detox tea and/or homemade cinnamon, almond milk lattes in hand.
Which reminds me how bummed I am that I forgot to add the S’well watter bottle/thermo to my christmas list this year {you can never have enough traveling thermo mugs and this one doubles as a super cute water bottle…maybe next year}!
Anyways the other night I had a late night sweet tooth craving so I was going to blend up an almond butter, cacao, spinach and banana smoothie.
I try to keep my late night snacking in these categories — lean proteins, green veggies and healthy fats {the banana doesn’t fit into one of these three categories but it sounded like that sweet, filling ingredient that was going to put this craving to bed}.
I loaded up my vitamix and just as I was about to pour in the final ingredient, 1 cup of almond milk, I thought what if I added some spices and warm almond milk and made this a warm smoothie…
and just like that this healthy mexican hot chocolate green smoothie was came to life. And it was so much better warm than I had expected!
Paired with a scoop of protein and a GoMacro mini bar it also makes for the perfect pre-or-post workout snack during these chilly winter months.
So in the spirit of Christmas and my newfound love for this deliciously, warm green smoothie blend I’m giving away a box of GoMacro mini bars to one lucky reader {see below for full details}!
