As I do each summer, I am constantly looking for ways to use up the mint that seems to take over my garden. So I went off in a google search for recipes containing mint and yogurt and came upon the idea for this recipe from Eating Well. I had just bought some strawberries so I adapted the recipe to fit my ingredients and taste and served these up for a light dessert after a day of fun in the sun.
As I was enjoying the leftovers for breakfast the next day, it occurred to me that this would be a great flavor combo for a smoothie. Luckily I have all the ingredients I need to see if I'm right.

What a lovely refreshing and delicious treat!
ReplyDeletePerfect for this hot weather.
DeleteWendy please pass on some of that mint here ;) what a wonderful recipe, succulent strawberries, fresh mint flavour and creaminess from the yogurt. Perfect breakfast or dessert option.
ReplyDeleteI could give you one stem and next year you would have to thin it out....it goes crazy quickly.
DeleteI eat a LOT of fruit in hot weather and it is coming back in a few days. This will make a great breakfast instead of turning on the stove.
ReplyDeleteYes, but for breakfast I would omit the sugar and just add a drizzle of honey. It was sweet with the 2 T. of sweetner, more suited for dessert.
