Minty strawberries and cream smoothie recipe
"You may not know this, but mint and strawberries are super compatible. The mint enhances the sweetness of the berries and adds vibrancy and depth when blended into this nourishing shake. Mint provides more than just good taste; it aids in digestion and contains vitamin D3, which is essential for calcium absorption.
Strawberries are rich in iron, which strengthens the blood and enhances absorption of nutrients into your cells. Chia seeds deliver a welcome balance of fat, fiber, and protein and also add silkiness and density to this smoothie as do creamy avocado and coconut milk."
