Minted Strawberry and Banana Smoothie



After an afternoon sunbathing I found myself craving a refreshing smoothie, and this one hit the spot! The combination of mint and strawberries is a definite winner on a hot summer's day.

 
 
 
 
I used the mint growing in the garden, so the smoothie tasted super fresh. You could easily do this yourself - mint is in season at the moment. Supermarkets and local markets sell pots of mint cheaply, so all you need to do is bring it home ad replant it.

Ingredients:

- 1 banana

- 10 strawberries

- 6 mint leaves

- Handful of kale of spinach

- 1 cup of water

- 1 teaspoon of chia seeds

(Optional: 1 date for added sweetness)
             
Simply place all the ingredients in your blender/juicer, and mix until all the pieces are mixed in and a smooth juice is formed.
