Green Tea Smoothie

A refreshing smoothie made with green tea and sweetened with frozen grapes, peaches, and a touch of maple syrup.

Yesterday I went on another 4.5 mile run and I didn't even walk the whole time! I realize that a month ago I could barely run two laps around a quarter mile track and now I can go over 4 miles while carrying a decent amount of conversation. I admit during the last mile I wasn't able to talk as well but I could spew out a few words every now and again. Improvement!

So during the last mile I had some time to think while Daniel ran ahead for a bit.  To get me through workouts I like to think about what I'm going to eat afterwards (hey, it works). I had yet to have green tea for the day and I typically like a smoothie right after a workout so I was thinking about how I could combine the two.  Here's what I came up with:

It was the perfect combination of fruit and green tea. And super easy to make! I think it's going to become one of my new favorites.

Here's everything you need (minus lemon juice):

I think next time I want to play around with different fruits. I was really wanting mango but I didn't have any on hand. Grapes, peaches, and bananas were definitely a good combo though. I'm very pleased with how they turned out!

If you try it, let me know!
