Hi all!!
Just recently traveled to Bolivia with my husband and we had a delicious drink there called Pina con Hierba Buena. It is SO refreshing I had to share it with you all in time for summer! I have recreated it but I always guess with ingredient amounts so forgive my lack of providing measurements
In a blender combine a cup of ice, half a cup of water, lots of pineapple and about 10 fresh mint leaves (I use spearmint that I grow myself but have bought fresh mint at the grocery store and it works just as well). I also use a tiny bit of honey to sweeten it up a little.
In the future I will experiment with adding more things ..like coconut! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did (fyi your non raw friends will also love it, my husband is by far not a raw food eater but he couldn't get enough of this drink!)
