Hot Green

A lighter smoothie but with nutrients and turbo charged with antioxidants from the green tea.

• 2 madjool dates (pitted)
• 250ml of hot green tea

Note - be careful when blending as hot liquids can either crack glass or come wizzing out due to the added pressure.  Better to blend the ingredients first and then add hot liquid afterwards to avoid mess.
