A few mint leaves from the backyard plant turned a plain berry blend into something that tastes like summer. This strawberry mint detox smoothie is what I make when the weather finally turns and I want something cold and green.

- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 cup almond milk or any preferred milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)

Tear the mint rather than chopping it, so the oils stay bright. Pour over ice and sip it slowly on the porch if you have one.
