Green Tea Smoothie

The usual bitterness of green tea is balanced out in this keto friendly Green Tea Smoothie from Key For Keto.

I love drinking tea, it is one of hobbies. I love discovering new tea blends from the Orient, however one tea which I simply can not stomach is green tea. I have tried so many different brands and blends, and brewing times yet I always end up grimacing as I sip the tea due to the bitterness. So, of course, I was apprehensive about this smoothie. After blending the ingredients it was a creamy drink and the only flavor I could taste was the vanilla and cream. In the end, a smoothie I was nervous about, tasted just like a vanilla milkshake.

The history of green tea

Legend has it that the first green tea was discovered by a Chinese emperor in 2737 B.C. He tried to improve his health by drinking water boiled with leaves from a wild shrub or tree, and this is believed to be green tea. The benefits of drinking green tea have been touted for centuries, and many people believe that it not only improves mental alertness but can help you stay healthy. The tea is also praised for its antioxidant properties, which can protect against cell damage from free radicals in the body. Additionally, green tea seems to help with weight loss by increasing metabolism.
