Tropical Thai Basil Smoothie
Created by TFFJ’s SYEP interns at DeWitt Clinton High School, this smoothie was the result of plenty of measuring, tasting, and fine-tuning. Each intern had a hand in balancing the flavors until it was just right—and the finishing touch? A sprinkle of fresh Thai basil on top for a bright, refreshing kick.
Like all TFFJ recipes, it gives students a chance to explore healthy eating, experiment with fresh ingredients grown right in their school, and share what they’ve learned with their community.
