I ordered a great cook book, Everyday Happy Herbivore by Lindsay Nixon... one of the first recipes I tried was her Mojito Smoothy... sounded like a fun way to jazz up a summer morning breakfast or snack! So easy and simple.
Throw into the blender the following ingredients:
- 3-4 icecubes
- 1/2 cup of milk or milk substitute
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup of raw spinach
- handful of fresh mint leaves
- juice from 1/2 lime
- Agave (sweeten to taste)
Blend and enjoy. It is so yummy! I love the addition of the lime, vanilla and mint! (Add more as desired.) I promise, you cannot even taste a hint of spinach. It's like it is not even there and you are filling your body with green goodness!
By the way, I like to buy a big bundle of bananas and when ripe, I peel and break them into chunks, and then throw them in a freezer bag and freeze. Frozen bananas add a great texture to shakes.
