Name: Mojito Smoothie
Prep time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1/3 English cucumber (peeled and diced); 4 curly kale leaves (stems removed); Juice and zest of ½ lime; 10-15 drops plain or vanilla pure liquid stevia; ½ large (barely ripe avocado (it should be quite firm), pitted and scooped from peel); 15-20 mint leaves (or ¼-½ teaspoon pure peppermint extract, to taste); 1 cup filtered water (or ½ cup water plus ½ cup full-fat canned coconut milk for a creamier smoothie); ½ cup ice

Traditional mojitos, of course, are off the table on an anti-Candida diet. This one provides the classic flavor combination in a beverage that will leave you refreshed and nourished instead of dehydrated or hung over. Sounds like a great trade to me! It’s also a creamy, rich-tasting drink that will satisfy a sweet craving beautifully.
