I'm not a big fan of green tea by itself, so here's a great way to use up all those green tea bags! I loved both the "zingy" taste and light consistency. I didn't add any sweetener, so the ginger was prominent, but a less-sweet drink was just what I needed this morning. Thanks for posting! -
I"m quite surprised as to how great tasting this is. I was optimistic at best because of the combination of ingredients I wasn't sure went together. I could understand the banana and o.j., but then with the added green tea?? Well, it turned out fantastic. All flavors come thru wonderfully. I chopped up some candied ginger as I didn't have fresh. And, I used 1 packet of splenda for sweetner. I'm not sure I would have needed that with the sweetness of the banana. Very very good and so glad I tagged you for my adoptee in Fall 08' PAC.
