This chocolate mint smoothie has a secret ingredient, and that is avocado. Why an avocado? Besides all the wonderful nutrients, the avocado contains good fat, which makes this smoothie very satisfying. The carbs will burn off first in your body, then this good fat will burn at a much slower rate, helping you feel full and satisfied longer.
