Tips

Tip: To brew strong green tea, use twice the amount of tea (or two tea bags), but do not over steep. Green tea should be steeped for no longer than 3 minutes; over steeping will give the tea a bitter taste.

I 'heart' this! Needed a healthy way to increase my potassium. Was getting less than 50%. I substituted the honey and added 3 dates to sweeten and increase the potassium. 1 serving provides a wowing 94% (3,303 mg) of the recommended daily allowance. And the bonus ... tastes GREAT!!!!

Refreshing Go-To Smoothie This is really tasty. I modified the recipe a bit by substituting half the avocado with some plain Greek yogurt to increase the protein content and also added some fresh ginger and flax and chia powder. Also made concentrated green tea with half the water which I added to a separate container shaken with a few ice cubes before dumping the lot into the blender. Didn't notice the call for honey for the longest time. Doesn't really need it IMO.

This is a really refreshing smoothie. I used Macha blend green tea, and substituted the avocado with a soft/silken tofu and added mint leaves. Very good.
