Here Are Some Ways to Use Fresh Mint:

1.Make Your Own Mint Tea to Aid Digestion

Use 5-10 big leaves or more depending on how strong you want it. Tear the leaves and place

in a mug, then muddle the leaves for a few seconds

with the back of a wooden spoon. Pour hot (not

boiling) water over the leaves and let steep 5-10

minutes. You can remove the leaves or leave them in

(punny!) – I leave them in and eat them as I sip.

2. Change up Your Protein Smoothie

Add 3-4 fresh
mint leaves to

your chocolate protein smoothie for a delicious
variety. I love ice, water, chocolate protein powder,

flax seeds, and mint whipped up in the blender. Mint is
wonderful in berry smoothies, too.

3. Make a Minty Lime Fizzler

Muddle 5-8 mint leaves

in the bottom of a glass. Add ice, a healthy squeeze of lime

and club soda with a few drops of stevia to sweeten. (Is it

5 o’clock somewhere? Turn this into a low-sugar mojito by

adding an ounce of white rum if you so please.)

4. Make My

Watermelon

Mint Pops

Homemade popsicles

are an easy, healthy, and

delicious treat. These pops require only 4 ingredients and

you will love them, with watermelon, spearmint, little bit

lemon juice and little bit honey needed to make popsicles.
