GREEN ENERGIZING SMOOTHIE
You won’t believe that green leaves can taste this nice. The hint of lemon makes all the difference to this healthy alkalizing smoothie. Macha is the latest buzz word. This is a powder made of green tea leaves. Here I use green honeybush tea that adds the same goodness.

4 dates or honey to taste
3—4 mint leaves
