Today's smoothie is all about this delicious and fragrant weed... MINT!

It's just so beautiful, isn't it!?

Makes 1 or 2 servings:

1.5 cups water
.5 cup organic unfiltered apple juice
slice lemon
1/2 cup or about 10 leaves of fresh basil
1/4 cup parsley (I used flat leaf italian because that is what we have growing right now... curly parsley is also very flavorful)
1/2 cup mint leaves - fresh from the garden!
1 green apple (skin removed because it was not organic)
1 cup green grapes
2 or 3 cups spinach
2 or 3 cups kale

Makes 30oz

1-2c water
1c pineapple
1/2c frozen green grapes (I froze them after buying fresh to preserve them!)
1 thin slice lemon (like you would add to a lemon water)
2c beet greens (I bought a bunch of golden beets to roast and saved the greens for my smoothies!)
2c spinach (whole leaf or baby spinach is fine)



TIP:  I'm on a more tighter budget than I have ever been due to having 2 kids in full time day care, so instead of buying packaged pre washed baby spinach, I'm opting for the bulk whole leaf spinach for less than 1/2 the price!  Sure, it's a tad more time consuming to wash, dry, store vs pre packaged kind, but I gotta do what I gotta do to get my greens in!!  Also, at Whole Foods, they sell loose beets (without the greens), and instead I opt for the bunch beets with their greens still attached, all so I can add them to my smoothies!

Cheers =)
