Jump Start Your Day


I stumbled upon this recipe & finally had the chance to give it a taste. IT'S AMAZING! I definitely feel much more awake and have more energy since I started drinking it in the AM. It's a very simple recipe and the ingredients are not expensive. 

  1. Brew one green tea bag in 4 oz hot water for 3-5 minutes; remove tea bag and let tea cool to room temp. 
  2. Blend the tea, 1/2 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt, 1 cup frozen mango chunks & 3-5 ice cubes until smooth.
