#1,479: Thin Mint (Healthy) Smoothie

Girl Scout Cookie season is just about to come to a close, and a coworker of mine asked if I had ever tried a Thin Mint Smoothie?  Um, no, and why have I not?!?!  So I took to Google to find a recipe that looked easy, and one that I had almost all of the ingredients for.  I have been putting off purchasing a protein powder for a while, but I found a low carb/low sugar/low calorie one at Kroger so I figured it was a good time to try it (in addition to the Thin Mint Smoothie!).  

I actually really, really liked this smoothie.  My kids did too...BONUS!  I think next time I'll omit the rolled oats...I don't think it needs it.  But the rest is quite delicious! 

1 cup frozen spinach (or 2 cups fresh)

1 cup almond milk

2 scoops chocolate protein powder (I only needed 1 scoop of the kind I used)

1/4 cup rolled oats

1/8 tsp peppermint extract

Combine the almond milk, spinach, protein powder, rolled oats, and peppermint extract in a high powered blender and blend until smooth.
