Treat Yourself to Some Tea

{!firstname_fix}

When you make your smoothie, you know that a major component is the liquid. You 
need to choose your liquid carefully, because it can determine how watery or thick the 
smoothie is, the nutrient value, and the overall taste.

Adding Tea to Your Smoothies 
 
Instead of using water or juice for your smoothie, use tea or add some tea to your juice. 
Tea has been shown to have a number of different properties that can reduce your risk 
of a number of different health conditions and diseases including depression, diabetes 
and stroke. Keep in mind that what we refer to as "tea" is not always tea. 

Genuine tea contains leaves from a tea plant, whereas there are a number of drinks 
labeled as tea that should more accurately be called "herbal infusions." Chamomile tea, 
for instance, contains leaves from the chamomile plant, but generally doesn't contain 
tea leaves. 

Benefits of Tea

Tea, on the other hand, comes in green, black and white varieties that all have different 
health benefits. Even herbal infusions, however, also offer a number of health benefits 
that can add critical nutrients to your smoothies and juices. 

Try different flavors of tea to add to your juice and smoothies. You can use caffeinated 
varieties like green tea, or go for a fruit-flavored decaf if you don’t want the extra jolt of 
energy.
