Mint Smoothie

If your mint leaves are very strong in flavor, try adding less leaves or add a couple of pitted dates or more banana to sweeten.

Makes two to three servings so store in fridge to use for a couple meal replacements or a refreshing breakfast drink for a couple days.

*For many smoothie recipes, a banana is required in the ingredients. Buy a bunch of organic bananas (you can sometimes get a deal if they are a little riper than preferred); peel and cut into one-inch chunks, place on a cookie sheet and freeze individually. When frozen, they can be kept in plastic bags in the freezer and pulled out a few chunks at a time. One banana usually equals about 4-5 one-inch chunks.
