Mint Fruit Smoothie (5 flavor options!)

Nothing tastes refreshing Mint Smoothie On a warm day – the mint pop is so good! This vibrant green smoothie mixes fresh mint leaves with fruits like pineapple, banana, mango or watermelon for a delicious breakfast or afternoon snack.

When I or I have trouble eating enough fruits or vegetables, smoothies are one of my favorite ways to get a lot of nutrition at once. Plus, they can be fun! Getting my kids into the kitchen and creating their own smoothie combo is the only way to get them to try new things.

For this recipe, my youngest mint-obsessed person decided to throw some in her pineapple smoothie, and the rest was history. We have been making all kinds of mint fruit smoothies ever since.

Before making mint smoothies

These things are kept in mind before making smoothies.

• Frozen fruit: If you want a creamy smoothie, combine at least one frozen fruit. It contains nutrients like fresh fruit and provides the best texture for smoothies.
• Fresh Mint Only: Use fresh mint for these smoothies. The dry mint and mint extract overwhelms other flavors in the smoothie, making it too mint.
• Add protein: If you plan to use it as a change meal or a hearty snack, you will need to add some protein and fat. Consider adding protein powder, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, cashew butter or high protein milk.

Start with basic ingredients: Mint Fruit Smoothie

There are many ways to make mint smoothies, but for each flavor you will need to use the following basic recipes.

• Frozen fruit: Frozen fruit is the best smoothie as it helps it stay cold, thick and creamy. Consider using pineapple, mango, banana, strawberry, watermelon, blueberry or peach.
• liquid: In my opinion, this smoothie is paired with non-dairy milk or coconut water. Consider using almond milk, cashews, coconut milk, oat milk or coconut water.
• Fresh mint: Fresh Mint will give you the best mint flavor. If you don’t want the mint to have a strong flavor, start with a few leaves and add.
• Optional join: Nutrition in smoothies by adding Chia seeds, cannabis seeds, protein powder, yogurt, frozen tofu, spinach, frozen cauliflower, kale, cheese, nuts or nut butter.

Simple smoothie meal preparation

If you want to use these smoothie meals, select your combination and prepare all the fruits and vegetables and divide them into separate Ziploc bags.

When making smoothies, just add all the frozen ingredients to the mixer and add the liquid. Mix until smooth and creamy.

hint: If you are not using a high power stirrer, don’t add all the frozen ingredients at once! Start with the liquid and about half of the frozen ingredients. Once they are good and creamy, add the remaining ingredients to mix

Expert tips for perfect mint smoothies

Want to take the mint smoothie to the next level? These tips will help you get the perfect balance of taste, texture and freshness.

• Use fresh mint – no extraction: Peppermint extract is more effective and can easily overwhelm the smoothie. Fresh mint gives you a crisp, cool flavor without having to taste like toothpaste.
• Freeze the fruit in advance: Using frozen fruit will not only cool the smoothie, but it will also give it a creamy, smoothie-like texture without adding ice, giving off the flavor.
• Don’t over-mix mint: Mixing for too long will make the mint bitter or grass weak. Finally add and pulse enough to merge.
• If you want to stay strong, strengthen the protein: Add Greek yogurt, protein powder or hemp seeds to turn the mint smoothie into a meal.
• Add green: A handful of baby spinach blends together without affecting the taste and adds nutrition and vibrant greenness.
