Peachy Mint Green Smoothie

Peachy Mint Green Smoothie

Sometimes it feels like inspiration finds the maker, not the other way around. Take this smoothie. I’ve been pretty fresh out of inspiration (or maybe motivation, it’s hard to tell the difference), as evidenced by the slow roll of recipes here at Foraged Dish over the last month. I’ll plan out a recipe, and at the last moment decide I just would rather make something else. But while waiting for an extraordinarily delayed flight, I stopped by a small café at the La Guardia airport, and ordered a green smoothie. It was mint-forward, made with summer fruits, and quite good, even though you never expect airport food to be any good. I’ve had so much mint in the garden, it’s been in just about everything these days. Here’s my recreation of that smoothie!
