What You Need to Make this Shake
First, let’s talk about the ingredients that are in this shake. I used 310 Organic Chocolate Mint, unsweetened coconut milk, banana, avocado, plain Greek yogurt, spinach, and ice. Feel free to add a few drops of mint extract or mint leaves for a stronger mint flavor, if desired.

- Almond milk instead of coconut milk
- Kale instead of spinach
- 310 Collagen for more protein

- Coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt for a fully vegan version
