Peppermint Smoothie

A festive peppermint smoothie bowl, made pink with berries and cool and minty, stress-reducing peppermint tea. Perfect pretty bowls to place on a holiday brunch table.

Peppermint smoothie bowl is a mood booster in more ways than one. Not only is it festive and minty, it's also pink thanks to goji berries, known for being a mood booster. Like my Ginger Tea and Magnolia Tea Smoothie, this smoothie is flavor with flavorful herbal teas.

Why You'll Love This

Easy to make. The base of this smoothie is protein-rich yogurt, enhanced with both peppermint tea and pink goji berry tea. The peppermint tea brings a delicious bright mint flavor as well as nutritional benefits. And the  pink goji berry tea does something similar.

Nutritional contribution.  Goji berries, also called wolfberries, are full of vitamin c and iron, and boost moods. Peppermint tea eases stomach upsets, relieves headaches and calms bacterial infections.

Ingredients

yogurt - I used dairy-free cashew, but any yogurt works.

zucchini - Buy organic because zucchini absorbs pesticides. Peel it here unless you don't mind the green specks in your pink smoothie.

strawberries - frozen will help give a thicker texture

goji berry tea - Steep dried goji berries.

peppermint tea - Make peppermint tea from 3 tea bags. 

maple syrup - add to taste for sweetness.

How to Make

step 1: Make the two teas

• Make concentrated goji berry tea by steeping ¼ cup dried goji berries in ½ cup of water for 5 minutes. Strain, and add the resulting tea to the blender.
• Make a concentrated peppermint tea from 3 tea bags. Steep them in ½ cup of boiled water for two minutes. Pour resulting tea into blender.

step 2: Add the teas and the rest of the ingredients to the blender.

step 3: Blend up your smoothie, and serve with crushed peppermint and gingerbread cookies on top, and even a drizzle of coconut butter!

Substitutions

Sweetener. Instead of maple syrup, toss in a pear or a cup of green grapes to sweeten instead.

Peppermint tea. Instead of tea, add peppermint extract.
