Prep time: 10 minutes
Serves 2/This sunrise-colored smoothie, fortified with a small dose of caffeine, may convince you to give up coffee as your morning beverage. Ingredient tip: Green tea and goji berries offer potent antioxidants to start your day right, and yogurt’s protein makes this an on-the-go superfoods breakfast. Prep tips: To avoid scorching the tea, be sure to use water that’s just off the boil. To freeze bananas, peel and slice, place in a plastic bag, and place in freezer overnight. Freezing several at a time makes spontaneous smoothies a cinch.
2 green tea bags
1/2 cup nearly boiling water
1-2 ice cubes
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 sliced frozen banana
2 tablespoons goji berries, plus extra for garnish
2 teaspoons agave nectar
