Moroccan Mint Strawberry SmoothieBerries are finally coming into season, mint is sprouting up all over my garden…it’s time for a Moroccan Mint Strawberry Smoothie.

Iced tea is a mainstay in my fridge and it translates easily into a base for a fruit smoothie. I find the best tea to use is mint. It gives you that blast of cool freshness for warm days!

Avocado did make its way into this smoothie. I normally do not use avocado, but I really wanted to try it. Skeptics abound – I did it. The avocado was unnoticeable (which made it healthy and delicious). It just added a rich, velvet texture – almost like whipped yogurt. I’m sold on it – at least in this smoothie!
