Green Tea and Berry Protein Smoothie
Cold green tea meets tart blueberries and sweet pomegranate in this frosty, protein-packed blend. You'll use a frozen fruit and yogurt mix to create a thick, icy texture without watering it down with extra ice cubes. A touch of honey balances the flavors, making it a refreshing option for busy mornings or a quick post-workout refuel. It's simple to customize, so you can easily adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed cold green tea
- 1 scoop (⅓ cup) whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 pouch (7.6 oz) blueberry-pomegranate-flavor pieces of frozen fruit and yogurt chips smoothie mix
Instructions
- 1Pour the cold green tea into the blender first, then add the whey protein powder, honey, and frozen fruit mix. Adding the liquid first helps the blades catch the frozen ingredients more easily.
- 2Secure the lid and blend on high for 60 to 90 seconds, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed, until completely smooth.
- 3Divide the smoothie evenly between two glasses.
Notes
- Sweetness: Taste the mixture after blending and add an extra teaspoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Prep: Brew the green tea the night before and chill it in the fridge so it's ice-cold when you're ready to blend.
- Swap: If you don't have a pre-made smoothie mix, use equal parts frozen blueberries and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
