Blueberry Mint Smoothie
Posted July 28th, 2010 by noelle | View Comments
The mint this summer has been absolutely beautiful – luscious green, full and fragrant. Historically I’ve tended to shy away from mint, but this summer after sharing Lunch With Celebrated Owners Paulette Satur + Eberhard Müller of Satur Farms I have been introduced to a new perspective on mint. Over the past few days I’ve been enjoying a few fresh mint leaves tucked into a carafe of water and I have found mint blends beautifully when mixed into a fresh herb salad. It is also lovely roasted with carrots and it’s fabulous in a smoothie.
This week re-introduce yourself to mint. This Blueberry Mint Smoothie would be a great way to dive in. It’s simple and easy to make, and a fun alternative for breakfast. I think the simple blueberry and mint combo taste lovely on their own, you may also consider adding a splash of maple syrup or Agave nectar. Some of you may also consider using a touch of Stevia. Also, this Blueberry Mint Smoothie celebrates using a spoon.
