Makes: About 3-1/2 cups, for two 1 3/4-cup servings
Total Time: 10 minutes

This green smoothie is packed with grapes, spinach, green tea and avocado. A touch of honey adds sweetness.

3 cups frozen white grapes
2 packed cups baby spinach
1-1/2 cups strong brewed green tea (see Tip), cooled
1 medium ripe avocado
2 teaspoons honey

Combine grapes, spinach, green tea, avocado and honey in a blender; blend until smooth. Serve immediately.

Tip: To brew strong green tea, use twice the amount of tea (or two tea bags), but do not oversteep. Green tea should be steeped for no longer than 3 minutes; oversteeping will give the tea a bitter taste.
