POM Power Smoothie

I love this recipe. It is different from the other smoothies I have been making lately. I know Green Tea has lots of health benefits, but I can't give up my morning coffee.

This is definitely a heart healthy recipe. This recipe was adapted from The New Sneaky Chef Book.POM Power Smoothie3/4 c Pomegranate Juice ( I used POM)1 cup Green Tea (boil 1 cup of water and pour...
