Berry D'lightful Summer Salad

This makes a fantastic summer dinner salad! Super packed with nutrition, and who says you can't have chocolate on your salad? Cacaotons are the new croutons.

Total ReFresh-MINT

Im totally a tea fanatic, but its becoming warmer outside everyday, and I really don't like the idea of drinking a warm beverage, especially after an intensive run and yoga sesh! ...but  I love the way tea feels in my body so I decided to make this blended frappaTEAno, instead of being boring and going for the old iced tea! Super easy, and VERY lovely indeed! 

~Total Refresh-MINT~

 2 Pukka "refresh" Tea bags ( peppermint, fennel, rose)
 1 organic apple 
 10ish ice cubes
4 large mint leaves
*(serves 2)*

Prepare 16oz of boiling water, and steep tea bags for 15 minutes. Let it cool down before making the drink.

In a blender, (I prefer Blendtec or VitaMix) combine tea, ice, mint, and apple. 
BLEND until frothy

Garnish with mint

Smell the excellence by taking 3 deep breaths before indulging. 
In-JOY!
