Depending on your audience, will determine what you call this. But, it is full of dense nutrients and it tastes great, plus it is perfect for these hot summer days! My kids love it and ask for more. Be careful not to put too much lime or mint. I overdid both and it made this way too bitter. I would err on the side of less than more. However, you can stuff it full of spinach, see how much I added?
If you are going to make a smoothie, just add a dash of water to thin it out a bit.
Shrek Sorbet or Mojito Smoothie

Ingredients
- 2 large handfuls of spinach (about 4 cups)
- 1 banana
- 1 mint leaf
- ¼ can White Grape Juice Concentrate, frozen
- ⅛ (or less) lime (with skin)

- Combine all ingredients into a blender. Serve immediately or store in the freezer to eat later.
To blend ingredients, I like to use a high powered blender, like a Vitamix.
I just made this with my 2 year old’s help and we both love it! She’s been sipping happily for a while now and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. She’s been really picky lately with the “good stuff” but she has loved this! Thank you so much for posting this! We’ll be making this again and again!
