Mint Chocolate Chip Superfood Smoothie

This recipe is for the chocolate lovers who are looking for a healthier way of fulfilling those sweet cravings. While I typically start my day with my daily green smoothie, I also enjoy switching it up and adding this smoothie in as an afternoon kick. Raw cacao is also a great source of Magnesium, and other essential minerals including calcium, sulfur, zinc, iron, copper, potassium, and manganese. Sometimes I also throw in Maca Powder to give it an extra superfood kick.
