Mint-licious Smoothie

Summer is officially here, along with the hot summer days. What better way to cool off, then a smoothie? Well, I have the perfect smoothie for you to try. Think mint chocolate chip ice cream, but in smoothie form. This smoothie is a delicious treat after a long summer day. It even provides one serving of veggies, you won't be able to taste the veggies though! Next time you're craving a sweet treat, try this smoothie out (it's basically like eating ice cream, without the guilt though ; ).
