Ingredients

    4 bananas
    2 cups of water (or coconut water for absolute decadence!!)
    1 Tbs of cacao nibs
    2 handfuls of mint (half a cup?)

Directions

If your blender can handle cacao nibs, add all ingredients to container in order given and blend until smooth. Otherwise, use your food processor. Makes 3-4 one-cup servings. Try adding more cacao nibs for more chocolate flavor and an even bigger antioxidant boost.

NOTE: Using coconut water adds about 75 calories to the total per serving.
