This Chocolate Mint Smoothie is Just What You Need to Soothe Your Stomach from Gas, Bloating, IBS, and Cramps

Chocolate and mint is always one of the best combinations when it comes to sweets. Besides giving the guilty pleasure, it also gives us the cooling effect of the mint which perfectly contrasts with the sweetness of the chocolate. It’s a totally satisfying blend.

Mint possesses more health benefits than you could ever imagine. It can help prevent cancer, clears up congestion of the nose, throat and lungs, improves oral health and can provide you with higher memory retention and alertness.
