  1. Add powdered cinnamon and honey. Toss the mixture with a spoon and set aside for 5 minutes. If you want a cool cocktail to combat the summer heat, you can refrigerate this mixture for 20 to 30 minutes before preparing the smoothie.

TIPS

Instead of chocolate chips, you can use roasted walnut pieces to garnish the smoothie. This would reduce the calories and add the nutritional value of your drink.
