Green Tea, Blueberry, and Banana Smoothies

This nutritious beverage is a healthful snack or breakfast on the go.

Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 bag green tea
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 medium banana
  • 3/4 cup calcium-fortified light vanilla soymilk

Directions
  1. In a small glass measuring cup or bowl, microwave water on high until steaming hot. Add the tea bag and allow to brew for 3 minutes. Remove the tea bag. Stir the honey into the tea until it dissolves.
  2. In a blender with ice-crushing ability, combine the berries, banana, and soymilk.
  3. Add the tea to the blender. Blend ingredients on ice crush or the highest setting until smooth. (Some blenders may require additional water to process the mixture.) Pour the smoothie into tall glasses and serve.
Since it's easier to prepare 2 at one time, just store the extra in a closed glass jar in the refrigerator. You can transport this smoothie to work with you to enjoy for a snack. If stored several hours in a thermos, shake vigorously before pouring. The smoothie will be tasty but thinner than when freshly made.
