Green Grasshopper Smoothie
(as seen on Ben 10 Omniverse)

Organic 1% chocolate milk
Organic spinach
frozen Organic banana
mint extract (see below for making it yourself)


Blend until smooth


Mint Extract
Ingredients
1/4 cup mint leaves
1 cup 80 proof rum or vodka
1 air-tight glass jar for storage
Directions
Begin by bruising the mint leaves, which is basically crumpling them up in your hands. This process releases the mint oils from the leaves, which chopping the leaves just won’t do as well.  Place the leaves into your jar. Pour in your alcohol – make sure your leaves are covered. Any leaves that are sticking out of the alcohol and into the air could become rotten or moldy. Place an airtight lid on your jar, and shake around a bit. Store in a dark, cool place, swirling the jar around a bit if you get the chance.  After 30 days, you may strain the leaves from the alcohol, and the extract should be ready for use!
