Mangoes were on sale at the store last week for 48¢, and I had just gotten a package delivered with some Lung Ching Dragonwell green tea from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf thanks to a Klout perk. So when I was flipping through my August issue of Woman’s Day and saw Joy Bauer’s Energy Smoothie recipe, featuring green tea and mango, well I knew I had to make it.
Her recipe ingredients included vanilla flavored Greek yogurt, but I just had plain so I added 1/2 tsp vanilla to the smoothie. I probably could have added a bit more, 3/4 or 1 tsp even.
Green Tea Mango Energy Smoothie
Ingredients
1 green tea bag
1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup mango chunks
5 ice cubes
Steep the tea bag in 4 oz of boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove tea bag and let tea come to room temperature (I chilled mine in the fridge while I cut up the mango). Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

That looks good. I bet it would work well with Matcha tea, too.
did it taste as good as it looks??
This sounds yummy! Anything to give me a burst of energy in the morning 🙂
It looks really healthy!
I am going to try this with cantelope as I do not have mango. Thanks.
This sounds soooo yummy!
I like mango-flavored things, but not chowing down on an actual mango. This would be a good way for me to eat them when they go on sale at Aldi.
This looks delicious and super simple. Thanks for sharing, will have to pick up some mangos so I can add this to our morning mix.
I'll have to try this!
Yes ma'am indeedy. I shall indulge in this soon! I'll up the vanilla a hair just like you said too.
Oh, this sounds so delicious! I love smoothies!
This looks super good! Will have to pick me up some mangos!
Interesting. I think I will just eat the mango and sip the tea instead.
My brother in law is the biggest green tea fan I know. This would be a great way to get his mornings off to an upbeat start!
I could go for some extra energy right about now!
I could use one of these right now since I've only slept 3 hours. Looks delish too.
I love green tea. This sounds refreshing!
I so need one of these right now!
After seeing this I am wondering if mangoes are on sale at my store. This looks yummy.
I definitely need to try that sometime. 🙂
This looks so darn delicious and I could have really used a boost of energy today!
I need to start making my own smoothie but i need a good blender and they're all so expensive. 🙁
This sounds awesome! &My husband is obsessed with all things green tea, so he'd love it too.
I love green tea, I need to try this!
That looks super good!
Yum! Love the flavor combination! Always looking to add more green tea to my diet.
