I processed all the ingredients EXCEPT for the chopped mint, then poured half of it into a glass for myself (I really don't usually care for mint)! Then I added 2 tablespoons of the chopped mint to the remaining liquid & blended that for my other half, who does like mint! Worked out just fine & both of us were satisfied! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in the Special Event ~ Adopt a Veggie Tag!] -
This recipe has an interesting flavor profile. I liked the apple and cucumber but I wasn't that crazy about the mint added. The cucumber takes on the flavor of the apple juice where as the the cucumber gives the drink some body. Made for Veg 'N Swap tag No. 35. -
Very refreshing! Perfect on a hot day or after a workout. Made for PRMR tag.

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!!
To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck.
Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!!
