Mint
Mint smoothies are the most refreshing way to start off your day. With warmer weather fast approaching, adding a mint smoothie to your breakfast, lunch or mid-afternoon snack, will certainly cool you off on a hot summer day. People have been using mint for many years. It is used in teas, can be made into balms and can also be used to keep unwanted pests away. Mint is so much more than an herb used in cooking.
It is rich in Vitamin A, Manganese and Iron. This easy to grow herb brings lots of health benefits you might not be aware of. When planting mint in your garden, keep in mind that mint grows fast and spreads rapidly due to taproots that grow underground. It’s best to plant mint in a large clay pot and then plant the clay pot and all, directly into the ground. This will keep the taproot contained and under control.
Here we have suggested five quick, delicious and healthy mint smoothie recipes. Each recipe will serve 1 to 2 people. It takes 10 minutes to prepare each of these affordable and delicious recipes. To learn more about Emily Taylor and to learn how to make her delicious mint smoothie recipes….
