Mint Green Smoothie

Do you ever find yourself having an excess of fresh herbs? Not usually in the winter. I recently got mint from my food co-op and after two recipes of using it, I still had a little bit left. I thought of how refreshing mint limeade or mint lemonade is in the summer and decided to give it a go in a smoothie.

It did not disappoint.

This is the most refreshing smoothie. Even on a cold winter day.

It was really nice to have a different spin on a smoothie. My bases usually consist of spinach or kale. This one has neither. It was a light, refreshing change and I can't wait to make it on a hot summer day when I have mint growing out my ears in my garden.
