Afternoon Tea Smoothie

Afternoon Tea Smoothie Recipe

Lemon curd is a sweet, lemony condiment made from sugar, eggs, butter and lemon juice that can be very high in calories and fat. However, if you use the recommended serving size of one tablespoon (as we did in this smoothie recipe), it will not put you over your calorie or fat limit, and it will add a little bit of a creamy satisfying texture. The raspberries provide natural sugars and antioxidants, and the green tea will pep you up in the afternoon due to its naturally occurring caffeine. Oh, and did we mention the myriad of studies proving that green tea prolongs life by preventing disease? Enjoy!

Red Bull Energy Smoothie

Red Bull Energy Smoothie Recipe

This smoothie recipe is a little nontraditional and contains the commercial beverage Red Bull with caffeine and taurine, which have been shown in some studies to enhance athletic performance and to improve concentration. One of nature’s most abundant energy sources are carbohydrates, so to enhance the energy beverage, this recipe includes fruits that are high in carbs. Also, water is important to keep blood pressure up and blood flowing, so the fruits in this smoothie are also high in water. Red Bull contains added B vitamins, which enhance cellular energy production. You will not believe how good this smoothie tastes!
