Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add the teabag to a mug and pour in the boiling water. Let the tea steep for exactly 3 minutes. Remove the teabag and discard, and let the tea cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Blend the green tea, pineapple, banana, spinach, cauliflower and lemon juice in a blender on high until smooth, 30 to 45 seconds. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.

Cook’s Note

When steeping green tea, set a timer. Steep for exactly 3 minutes to get the most flavor without it getting bitter.
