Kiwi Green Smoothie

This time of year, McDonald’s’ Shamrock Shake seems to be a hot item, and you can find about a bazillion copycat recipes on the web. I’ve never tried one and really don’t intend to as it just doesn’t sound appealing—mint flavoring? No, thanks. Fresh mint leaves? Yes, please!

Instead, I’ll toast to St. Patrick’s Day with this Kiwi Green Smoothie. No need for food coloring here! Kiwi, avocado, and mint leaves bring the green and plenty of nutritional benefits.
