Thin Mint Spinach Smoothies

February 8, 2017 By Patricia 20 Comments

Looking for a flavorful and healthier option to seasonal cookie treats? Try these Thin Mint Spinach Smoothies that are delightfully satisfying with just the right amount of cookie inspiration.

Looking to fulfill your seasonal cookie craving? Try these Thin Mint Spinach Smoothies! You'll love the flavor, without the guilt!

It’s that time of year when my husband comes home from the grocery store, or in the case last week, from the home improvement store, with Girl Scout Cookies. Yes, a few boxes of cookies. What a sweet gesture, right?

These cookies bring me joy and infuriate me at the same time.

You'll love serving and enjoying these Thin Mint Spinach Smoothies -- they're filling and full of great flavor!

Even though those chocolate-coated Thin Mints and coconut-sprinkled Samoas are small, they’re mighty. As in, I’m going to have to work mighty hard on my workouts if I keep eating them! But someone bringing you cookies is a sweet gesture nonetheless.

To help combat the mightiness of those sleeves of cookies, and still enjoy a tasty treat, I decided to try my hand at a recipe for Thin Mint Spinach Smoothies.

So much goodness packed into these Thin Mint Spinach Smoothies!

Okay, so comparing a smoothie to a chocolate-coated goodie isn’t exactly the same, but you may be surprised at how close you can get! If you like sweet-treat smoothies without a lot of guilt, you’ll also want to check out my Sweet Potato-Pear Smoothies with Candied Pecans. 

These Thin Mint Spinach Smoothies have the right stuff, including the hit of chocolate and mint that you’d expect. That’s especially powerful if you’re trying to keep those cookies out of reach.

Check off “fab flavor” from the list, and fruit and veggies, too: I added 2 apples and 4 handfuls of spinach to the mix. Talk about mighty! These smoothies are filling and flavorful.

Sip away! These Thin Mint Spinach Smoothies are big on flavor and won't bring you any

I couldn’t resist adding a spritz of whipped topping to cap off these smoothies. With or without that extra touch, I still put Thin Mint Spinach Smoothies in the good-for-you category of treats!

    A healthy mint smoothie sounds a heckuva lot better than a shamrock "milkshake" to me!

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
