Green Tea Smoothie

Hi guys, I have a new smoothie recipe for you ;) the best part of this smoothie is that it contains Green Tea, and green tea has MANY benefits that you can't imagine! For example... it boosts your metabolism ;)

So go ahead and try this refreshing smoothie :) 

Number of servings: 1

Ingredients:
~ 1 green tea bag
~ 2/3 cup water

Directions:
Heat water and brew tea. Let cool. 
Place cooled tea, mango, lime juice, and crushed ice in a blender and blend until thick and smooth. Adjust ice to the consistency you like best.
