PINEAPPLE BANANA MINT SMOOTHIE

This tangy, minty smoothie may have more adult appeal than kid appeal, but it's certainly one of my favorites. I particularly like it made with almond milk. The pineapple in this drink will give you your daily requirement for manganese, and it's a good source of vitamins C, B1, B6, copper and dietary fiber.

WATERMELON MINT SMOOTHIE

I'm always tossing watermelon with fresh mint, so I decided to see how the two would blend in a smoothie. The result is like a cross between a sweet mint tea and a watermelon agua fresca.

Categories     easy, shakes and smoothies

Time 5m

Yield One serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups, tightly packed, diced seedless watermelon
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoon sugar, agave syrup or vanilla sugar
3 to 4 ice cubes (more to taste)
Watermelon balls for garnish

Steps:

  • Place all of the ingredients except the watermelon balls in the blender. Blend until frothy, about one minute. Pour into a glass, and garnish with watermelon balls. Serve right away.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mint: For the best flavor, use fresh mint leaves. Avoid using dried mint, as it will not provide the same flavor intensity.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fruits in your smoothies. Some popular choices include strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and mangoes.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables can also be a great addition to mint smoothies. Spinach, kale, and cucumber are all good choices.
  • Use yogurt or milk: Yogurt or milk can help to make your smoothie creamier and more filling. If you are vegan, you can use almond milk or soy milk.
  • Add some sweetness: If your smoothie is too tart, you can add some sweetness with honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup.
  • Don't over blend: Over blending can make your smoothie too thin and watery. Blend your smoothie just until the ingredients are combined.

Conclusion:

Mint smoothies are a delicious and refreshing way to start your day or refuel after a workout. They are packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and they can help to improve your digestion and boost your energy levels. So next time you are looking for a healthy and tasty snack, give one of these mint smoothie recipes a try.
