What is Peppermint Mocha Shakeology?
I’m guessing that if you are here you already have a box of your pretty little packets of Shakeology and an awesome coach you picked them up from. But just in case you don’t, let me invite you to grab some right now from me!
You will be so excited to try this recipe that you will want them immediately! Plus you have the bonus of becoming a lifetime member to my personal Virtual Fit Club if you get your Shakeology from me. It’s a win-win.
Peppermint Mocha Shakeology is the seasonal “Christmas” flavor of Shakology. It comes out every year around the holidays and it sells out FAST! So pick it up now and stock up too. Because Peppermint Mocha Shakeology will be gone before you know it!
If there is sadly no more Peppermint Mocha Shakeology in stock right now, you can use Vegan Chocolate Shakeology with a splash of peppermint extract to substitute and still make this mouthwatering recipe.
What are the Benefits of Drinking Shakeology?
Shakeology is a high-quality nutrient-dense protein powder. I’m not going to lie, it’s pricey. But the nutritional content is without comparison. (And the only protein powders it does compare to are the exact same price per serving.)
The number of people who have noticed huge differences in their digestion, sugar cravings, energy, or overall health since beginning drinking Shakeology daily is amazing.

The Ultimate Peppermint Mocha Shakeology Recipe
For this peppermint mocha Shakeology smoothie recipe, you will want to use a high-power blender like the Ninja. This is so that all of the fruit and spinach are fully blended. If your blender isn’t up for it, I recommend using more liquid or just putting less in there so it doesn’t get stuck.
This peppermint mocha Shakeology smoothie recipe is super easy to make and can be made in just a few minutes. It is also a great way to use up any leftover fruits and veggies you might have from meal prepping healthy lunches. I always like to make a big batch of this peppermint mocha Shakeology smoothie and keep it in the fridge for busy days when I don’t have time to sit down and eat a real meal.

Some tips for making a better Mocha Peppermint Shakeology Smoothie
Add the liquids to the blender first then add the fruit, veggies, and powder. It prevents the blender from getting stuck and having powder stuck to the edges. Even high-powered blenders like a Ninja can get stuck if you add things in the wrong order.
Chop up the frozen fruit before adding it to the blender. Whole bananas have a tendency to block things up.
If you are looking for a “meal replacement” smoothie Shakeology itself blended in water or almond milk actually ISN’T a valid meal replacement. Many people are surprised to learn that.
Shakeology is meant to be blended with some healthy high fiber carbs and healthy fats in order to replace an entire meal. So this recipe fits the bill. Shakeology alone should be used as a snack only.
You can also meal prep these smoothies for the week by making multiple plastic baggies with all the fruit and veggies in it and leaving in the freezer. Just add the liquid and protein powder packet to the blender in the morning and then the baggie of ingredients for a fast easy meal replacement!
