cool peppermint Chocolate Shake

This has become my favorite morning beverage for the holiday season. Because it includes JuicePlus+ Complete Powder, it can serve as a meal replacement and is perfect as a pre- and post- exercise drink! What's really cool is that when I throw in a bunch of greens like spinach and kale, the color of the shake turns a bit green as well.  But - the green color doesn't seem odd since the flavor is peppermint which we tend to associate with the color green.

1 cup organic almond or rice milk, or water
1 scoop JuicePlus+ Chocolate Complete Powder *
1 Tablespoon flax seeds, ground (optional, but ideal)
1 cup spinach (optional, but provides extra phytonutrients and fiber)
1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
4 ice cubes
blend all and enjoy
