This tangy, minty smoothie may have more adult appeal than kid appeal, but it's certainly one of my favorites. I particularly like it made with almond milk. The pineapple in this drink will give you your daily requirement for manganese, and it's a good source of vitamins C, B1, B6, copper and dietary fiber.

Tips:

Choose ripe pineapple: Look for pineapples that are heavy for their size and have a golden-yellow color. Avoid pineapples with green or brown spots.
Peel and core the pineapple: Use a sharp knife to remove the skin and core of the pineapple. Be careful not to cut yourself.
Freeze the pineapple: Freezing the pineapple will make it easier to blend and will help to keep the smoothie cold.
Use fresh mint leaves: Fresh mint leaves will give the smoothie a refreshing flavor. If you don't have fresh mint leaves, you can use dried mint leaves, but they won't be as flavorful.
Add other fruits or vegetables: You can add other fruits or vegetables to the smoothie, such as bananas, strawberries, spinach, or kale.
Adjust the sweetness: If the smoothie is too tart, you can add a little honey or maple syrup to sweeten it.
Serve immediately: Smoothies are best served immediately after they are made.
