How do I make this blueberry tea smoothie?

Start by steeping teabag in 8 oz boiling water for 3-5 minutes (depending on how strong you want the lemon-ginger flavor). Throw away teabags after tea is made.

Expert Tip: Boil water in the microwave or in a tea kettle.

Expert Tip: Lemon ginger tea is really good in this, but lemon tea or ginger tea would be great too. Use whatever zippy tea you have on hand.

Add tea, ⅔ c vanilla yogurt, and ½ c frozen blueberries to blender. Blend until well incorporated. If you'd like it to be thinner, feel free to add more water or milk to smoothie.

Expert Tip: Frozen fruit is better than fresh because it'll make the smoothie icy and cold. Add a couple ice cubes if you don't have frozen berries.

FAQ

What do you put in a smoothie?

Some of the yummiest ingredients to add to a smoothie are: berries, bananas, tropical fruits, milk, fruit juice, yogurt, leafy greens (spinach & kale in particular), and you can also add nut butter, & seeds.

Do you make smoothies with milk or water?

I always use milk because of the added flavor and protein. fruit juice will add more nutrients and flavor than water. But just adding a dash of water won't dilute the smoothie too much, so that's fine.

What can I make with leftover ingredients?

• (frozen blueberries) add to any other smoothie like this mixed berry smoothie w/ granola, or this Turkey & Brie Sandwich with Blueberry Mustard (I won an award for it!)
• (Greek Yogurt) Peanut Butter Overnight Oats, Overnight Oats with Yogurt, Yogurt Bowl, or this Apple and Yogurt Tart.
