Mojitoish Smoothie
I got this recipe from a great blog http://mynewroots.blogspot.ca/ Not sure if I have referenced it before or not, but its good, really good and very inspiring!
So I have made this one a few times and each time I change some of the ingredients, either to suit what I have at home or depending on who I am making it for. When I make it for the kids I substitue apple juice for the nutmilk/coconut water and leave out the dates (apple juice is sweet enough). For Rich who is limiting his carb intake I make it with the coconut water and use only half a banana and no dates. Every time its delicious and very filling. Have yet to make it a real mojito and add the rum but sure i will find a friend to do that with soon!!
