Blend on high until a smooth and creamy consistency is reached, adding more milk if the smoothie is too thick for your liking. Add a few drops of mint and blend for a couple more seconds. Take a small sip and add extra mint and/or sweetener, if desired.

Notes
*Exercise caution when adding mint extract. Start with a few drops of of mint and gradually add more to taste. Mint overpowers super fast depending on the brand of mint extract you use.
