GREEN TEA BERRY SMOOTHIE
This is a wonderful, healthy smoothie from Delicious Living mag. Here's what they say: "When you absolutely need breakfast to go, try this super-powered smoothie. Green tea's antioxidants help prevent cancers, blocked arteries, and even tooth decay; flax provides healthy omega-3 fats; and berries offer fiber and vitamin C-all served up in a tasty, easy-to-carry form." I adjusted it a bit by adding more flax and some oat bran. My 4 yo loves it too! It's not too thick and not too thin, just right.

Tips:

- Use unsweetened yogurt: Unsweetened yogurt is a good source of protein and calcium without the added sugar.
- Add some greens: Leafy greens like spinach or kale can be added to the smoothie to boost its nutritional value without altering the taste too much.
- Sweeten it naturally: If you need to sweeten your smoothie, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia instead of refined sugar.
- Garnish it up: Make your smoothie more visually appealing by garnishing it with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds.
