Expert Tips

Use a high-speed blender for this recipe. If you only have a food processor on hand, you can use that too!
Don't pour the peppermint extract into the measuring spoon over the blender just in case it spills! You only need a tiny amount to give it a mint flavor. Peppermint extract has a very strong flavor!
Chill the cup in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before making the smoothie.
