Minty Fresh: Green Mojito Smoothie

Tess Masters aka The Blender Girl joins us again this week to share her go-to green smoothie. We’d like to think we know a thing or two about green smoothies, so trust us when we say that this is a good one.

Whether you’re lucky enough to get a Spring Break this year or not, this smoothie can be your a vacation in a glass. The zesty cocktail is super tasty and also chock-full of fresh ingredients like lime, kale, and mint. Getting your fruits and veggies never tasted so good!

Feel free to prepare this smoothie as instructed here, or add-in a few of the listed optional ingredients. A little minced ginger is especially nice for an extra kick of flavor.
