    Refreshing Mango Green Tea Smoothie

    Drinks, Recipes

    For this recipe, we teamed up with our friends at Lipton® to make a smoothie with green tea that is sure to keep you feeling hydrated and refreshed. We wanted to focus on tea for this smoothie because it is a naturally refreshing alternative when you need something a little fancier than water, but still want to keep it nutritious. Tea is one of the first beverages we recommend to our patients when they ask for fun ways to spice up their fluid intake. Having a glass of unsweetened, no sugar added Lipton® Pure Green Tea in the morning can be the perfect way to start your day.

    Keep in mind that this smoothie should be enjoyed as a refreshing snack, not a full meal, since it is super low in calories. If you wanted to turn this treat into a breakfast smoothie, for example, we recommend adding a few more ingredients. Think yogurt or avocado. This will ensure you are getting healthy fats and proteins with the meal.

      I just want to say I absolutely am in love with the direction and feel of your blog. My eyeballs don’t even know where to look! Esp with this recipe, I love the fact you mentioned to keep in mind that this shouldn’t replace a meal, and if it is going to replace breakfast, think almond milk. I drink these types of smoothies all the time for breakfast, but usually use water. That’s changing starting tomorrow. Just curious, what’s the benefit of almond milk in the smoothie? I imagine it’ll definitely be a bit creamier than adding water.

      Thank you so much for the inspiration, and keep up the phenomenal work.

        Hi! Yes it definitely is creamier, and almond milk is usually fortified with vitamins and minerals, which boosts the nutrient content!

    Last month when I asked who you wanted us to inter Last month when I asked who you wanted us to interview for our habits series, 90% of you said Gretchen Rubin. Today your wish comes true.

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
