Green Tea Berry Smoothie image

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.

I found that this smoothie was a bit too thick. I added a little bit more almond milk to thin it out.

This smoothie is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try using less honey next time.

I'm not a big fan of green tea, but I really enjoyed this smoothie. The berries and honey perfectly masked the green tea flavor.
