Summer Smoothie with Mint!
Summer smoothie with mint is the recipe of the amazing mint-and-fruit smoothie I experimented with this morning. The mint, lychee, apple and the mango made a great match with each other in this fruit drink. Then, there are lemon and honey into it, along with the yogurt. All blended, this is the tasty surprise I got, which my family enjoyed till the last drop. Actually, I wasn’t expecting that it would turn out to be so delicious; but, it did!
When I woke up today morning, I looked outside my living room’s glass window in Hong Kong. The reflection of the morning sun on the sea was looking like someone has thrown a bagful of diamonds into the sea. The summer season is already here in its full form! And that’s great news, as that also means the season for mocktails, sherbets, ice creams and smoothies!
Summer Smoothie with Mint!
Ingredients:
- Mango pulp: ½ cup
- Lychees: 2
- Lemon juice: 2 tbsp
- Apple, chopped finely: ¼ cup
- Mint leaves: 3 or 4
- Brown sugar: 2 tbsp
- Salt: ¼ tsp
- Yogurt: 4 tbsp
- Drinking water: 2 cups
- Crushed ice: ½ cup
- Honey, divided: 3 tbsp
Method of Preparation:
Reserve some chopped apples and 1 tbsp honey for putting at the bottom of the serving glass. Add all the ingredients, except water, to the blender and blend all to a smooth paste.
Add the water and blend once more.
Take out a frosted glass from the refrigerator, put the reserved apples in it.
Pour honey (1 tbsp) over it.
Now, pour the minty smoothie. Serve chilled.
