Mint Jalapeno Smoothie

I know smoothies are really popular these days. I've grown to love them myself as an easy way to get a lot of fresh whole foods in your diet quickly. And once again in the heat of summer, a great option of "not" cooking.
 I love mint and try to use it frequently when it's abundantly available as a seasonal summer herb and one day when I had an extra pepper laying around I decided to try this combo and it was SO yummy! The second time I made it I added a little yogurt as the jalapeno definitely had a kick and the yogurt helped cool it down. Smoothies can be eaten anytime of day but I like them best for breakfast.

You will need:
  • 2 handfuls of spinach or kale or romaine or 1 handful each of some combination of those 2
  • 3/4 banana
  • 1/4 fruit - I used a frozed tropical mix i.e. mango, papaya, pineapple
  • 1/2 - 1 small jalapeno de seeded
  • 1 handful of fresh mint
  • 1 cup of coconut water and 2 cups water or 3 cups water
  • optional: a dollop of plain yogurt
  • optional: protein powder (I pretty much always add protein to smoothies. May favorite its Garden of Life's "Raw Protein".

Blend together adding the liquid last. This will make enough for 2 people or 1 really hungry person like myself :)

    Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty. Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on earth as much as the evolution of the vegetarian diet.
