Shrek Sorbet or Mojito Smoothie

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.
