I love berries with mint salad, it is so refreshing and such a great way to incorporate healthy antioxidants and fibers! I love how this has similar flavours to some cocktails but is a healthy and delicious snack. Ensuring that it is chilled in the fridge before serving is a great idea too to add to that refreshing mix of delicious flavours. I love how it also includes honey as some sweetness is great and healthy too!
