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!

Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m
planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to
ask!

Hi there! I use WordPress and really like it. It is easy to use and has a lot of free themes to choose from. I am using one of the free themes but have created my own header. Good luck with starting your blog! =)
