Hello dear friends! 🙋🏻

Smoothies with mint are just what I need on a hot summer day, when I want something light, refreshing and invigorating. I just love the pleasant, cool taste and the fresh fragrance of peppermint leaves 🌱. This smoothie contains a combination of mint, lemon/lime and ginger, so it is a real thirst-quencher. Apart from the cooling effect, these ingredients help you remove toxins from the body and help you restore your metabolism.

Let’s take a look at the ingredients. In this recipe, I used two medium-sized apples. For best taste, choose ripe and juicy apples. I added one kiwifruit and a little lime juice and zest to give the smoothie a sour edge and citrus fragrance. However, do not add too much lemon/lime juice—if you stick to the recipe, you will be fine. Too much lemon juice will make the smoothie too sour for most people. The ginger adds a little spiciness, while keeping the smoothie refreshing. The (mineral) water makes the smoothie thinner, so here you can choose how much you want to add. I used around 100 ml, but you might want to add less, or more. Finally, I added two leaves of green lettuce in my smoothie, but the lettuce is not essential.
