This is a zingy and refreshing smoothie based on the flavours of Mojito with a few added ingredients for extra nutrients.
Virgin Mojito Smoothie
Cuisine: Drink, Snack
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 1 lime
- 1 large teaspoon of chopped mint
- 1 large handful of spinach
- 4 inches of cucumber
- natural sweetener
- ½ a teaspoon of spirulina powder (optional)
Instructions
- *Since making this I've stopped using agave as I've read it's not as good as it originally sounds so just use your favourite natural sweetener*
- I peel the lime and put all of the flesh in but this makes it very sour so you might prefer just to put the juice of one lime in
- Put all ingredients in a jug. The lime or its juice, a large teaspoon of chopped mint (I have it frozen in the freezer), a large handful of spinach, about 4 inches of cucumber and natural sweetener
- I put about ½ tsp of agave in. To make it sweeter more like a Mojito you may wish to add more. Use a hand blender to blitz until very smooth. Taste to see if you need any extra mint, agave or lime
- Pour into a glass and serve. I sometimes stir in ½ a teaspoon of spirulina powder which is a very scary dark green colour but in a smoothie doesn't taste too strong and has great health benefits
