Looking for the perfect container plants? Both mint and strawberries are ideal for containers — mint especially since it can be such a rampant grower in the garden.
Clustered containers of the two offer a lush display with the added benefit of edible leaves and berries that are delicious on their own or when paired in a recipe such as this mint strawberry smoothie.
Strawberry Mint Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. agave nectar
- 2 ice cubes
- 1 tbsp. mint
- cup strawberries
Instructions:
Place all ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth.
Use a few mint sprigs for garnish.
Variations:
For a creamier smoothie, add 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt.
Two tbsp. mini chocolate chips will make a chocolate dipped strawberry smoothie.
Add 1 cup orange juice and half a banana for a fruitier flavor.
Don’t forget spices — try mixing in a dash of cinnamon or other spice you enjoy.
