Tips
- Chill Factor: For the most refreshing experience, brew your green tea in advance and refrigerate for at least an hour before blending.
- Ingredient Quality Matters: Use fresh, ripe blueberries and high-quality green tea for the best flavor and maximum nutritional benefits.
- Sweetness Control: Start with a small amount of honey and gradually add more to suit your taste preferences.
- Blending Technique: Always add liquid ingredients first to help create a smoother blend and prevent ingredients from sticking to the blender bottom.
- Texture Tip: For an extra creamy shake, use frozen bananas instead of fresh ones.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately after blending to preserve the fresh flavors and optimal nutritional value.
- Customization: Feel free to add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for an extra nutritional boost.
