Recipe: Strawberry Mint Smoothie from P. Allen Smith

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.

  • 1 tbsp. agave nectar

Variations:

Don’t forget spices — try mixing in a dash of cinnamon or other spice you enjoy.
