Mint is a great addition to green smoothies providing a little extra nutrition while enhancing the flavor. Both fresh and dried mint can be used.
A few of the health benefits attributed to mint include aiding in proper digestion, cleansing, and detoxification, calming effects, antioxidant-rich, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and mint help maintain healthy skin.
Take your green smoothies to the “minty side” with a little fresh or dried mint. It enhances the flavor and imparts some nice health benefits.
Lately, I’ve been adding more herbs into my smoothies for the health benefits and taste. Mint is another one of my favorites because of the subtle flavor it imparts and the memories it conjures up of the mint chocolate chip ice cream I use to love as a kid. In my experience mint blends well into most smoothies.
