I started drinking fruit/veggie/protein powder smoothies about nine months ago after seeing "Fat Sick & Nearly Dead" but wanting something more satiating than straight juice. I started with one of their smoothie recipes (alas, I cannot provide a link) and tweaked it. They suggested coconut water for the liquid, but what I found in the supermarket seemed overpriced and full of undesirable ingredients. I decided to use tea instead, and this is the tea I use. This is a nice, energizing start to my morning. I buy it by the case via Subscribe & Save, as I do all the tea I drink regularly.
