DAY 15 DAY 15 - SMOOTHIE 1
Raspberry Tea Green tea is full of antioxidants, making it a great liquid to add to your smoothies. Be sure to use home brewed, unsweetened tea here instead of bottled varieties; those tend to be high in sugar. If caffeine tends to make you jittery, white tea may be a better choice as it contains less caffeine compared to green tea. Or you can use water. Serves 1
