2Pour the soy milk into a high-powered blender. Then add the Frozen Banana & Spinach Smoothie Pack, mint, almond butter, and dates. For a frostier smoothie, you can add the ice if desired, but make sure you're using a high-powered blender.

3Start blending on low, then gradually increase to high, using a blender tamper if you have one. If you need extra liquid to get things moving, add more milk and blend again.
-
4Optional: If using protein powder, add it now and blend again until incorporated. If your protein powder has added sweetness, I recommend adding a pinch of salt to balance.
-
5Add the cacao nibs or chopped dark chocolate, and pulse a few times just to incorporate and distribute. Don’t blend fully, as you want flecks and crunch.

6Taste, adding more cacao or chocolate as desired.
