Directions

Step 1

Step 2

2. In a blender, add 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk. This serves as the creamy base for the smoothie without adding unnecessary sodium.

Step 8

8. For sweetness, add 1 teaspoon of honey or agave syrup. You can adjust the amount based on your preference for sweetness.

Step 9

9. Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Ensure the mint leaves and ice are fully incorporated to avoid any large chunks.
