Summer of Smoothies: Mint Magic


This week’s smoothie is a light, refreshing, treat, sure to beat the midsummer heat. Its base of honeydew melon provides hydration, vitamin C and potassium, and the mint refreshes with its vitamins A and C. Add the lime and grapes and you have a healthy version of a mojito – and this cocktail can be enjoyed by everyone!
