Mint Chocolate Green Smoothie Waffles are delicious breakfast waffles that use the same main ingredients as a green smoothie: spinach, banana and Greek yogurt.
Green smoothies are known as being a delicious, healthy drink. I usually freeze overripe bananas to use for smoothies, but I wanted to make something different. I decided to make Mint Chocolate Green Smoothie Waffles. The waffles contain the same basic green smoothie ingredients: spinach, banana and Greek yogurt. Mint Chocolate Green Smoothie Waffles are a great way to add some fruit and vegetables to your morning breakfast.
