Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea

I love POM tea. The people that make the pomegranate juice is those woobly shaped bottles, also make a variety of pomegranate teas. This Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea is definitely my favorite. I would describe the taste as "magical." Until recently, the bottles were made of glass in the shape a drinking glass, so you could reuse them. I was starting to collect them and they were the highest quality glasses in my kitchen. :) I guess they got too expensive for POM to make.

Green Smoothies


I started drinking these about a year ago. It may be an acquired taste but I find them very refreshing. My husband even likes them. When I was making one, my little niece even asked to try it, and she really liked it.

My favorite way to make them is:


1 banana

1 kale leaf (minus the the thick stalk)

1 tbs hemp seed

a few ice cubes

1/2 cup frozen pineapple

1/2 cup water (to be able to blend it and make desired consistency)

1 tsp. green powder supplement (optional)


Blend it up, poor it in a cup, and pop in a straw.



Delish.
