This refreshing ice-cold apple and mint limeade smoothie is perfect for a hot summer day.  

Apple and Mint Limeade Smoothie in glass

This smoothie is slightly lighter in color and texture than some green smoothies.

It tastes a little bit tart, similar to limeade.

I especially like the refreshing flavors of the lime zest and fresh mint.

About this Recipe

Although this smoothie has spinach in it, you wouldn’t know it by the taste, and it adds a nice light green color to the drink.

I have to admit that I slipped in a little sugar in this recipe.

It just seemed like the right thing to do since lime was involved and it adds a bit of sweet that emphasizes the tart flavor of the green apple and lime.

But feel free to leave out the sugar if you like.
