Tea Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 cup black tea brewed extra strong

(use two tea bags)

1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen

1 banana

1&1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt

1 tablespoon ground flax seed

2 tablespoons sugar.

How to Make

Place strong tea in a blender with all the other ingredients. Blend until smooth. My suggestion: Put a little cherry or strawberry on top and add a fancy straw for a little extra flair.

Where there's tea there's hope.
