Minty Fruity Friday!

I was standing inside a supermarket looking for shower gel when I had this craving for a ginger mint infused smoothie/juice/drink anything that tasted all sorts of minty ginger. So I quickly created a mental recipe in my head and got the ingredients while I was still out grocery shopping

What I used

One small green apple washed cored and sliced

Half a cucumber washed peeled and sliced

A handful of fresh mint leaves washed

About a half cup pineapple cubed

Some ginger just enough to taste washed peeled and cubed

Juice of half a lemon

One small carrot shaved

One cup water – I use filtered water

Method

Put everything into a blender and blend away until fully blended.

I have a sweet tooth so I added a teaspoon of sugar to the mix just for that extra sweetness

Best served chilled

I wash all my fresh fruit and veggies that are to be eaten raw in my homemade veggie wash solution which is usually a little bit of white vinegar added to the final rinse in a bowl full of water and let the fruits and veggies sit for at least five minutes. Lemon juice, salt works well too. 

it was proper refreshing!
