1 small handful of spinach (washed)
1 mint leaf (washed)
2 tbsp Greek plain yogurt
- Place the first four ingredients into a small blender bowl/Nutrabullet and blend until smooth.

Tip:
Mix the first four ingredients together and add ⅛-¼ cup of puree to sparkling water for a refreshing drink for adults!
