Thai tea and yoghurt smoothie
Tea
I have always had a THING for ice- iced tea, iced coffee, popsicles etc etc. I have been experimenting this summer with various slushy style bevs that are not too labor intensive. This recipe has become a daily standard. I use Equal instead of sugar and it works great for me, but you can use whatever you prefer, as long as you can get your sweetener to dissolve.. I use plain Greek yoghurt because one cup of it has TWENTY grams of protein, which makes it a good breakfast or lunch.. This mixture, if you choose not to freeze it, is like a healthy version of the very sweet condensed milk+thai tea beverage you receive when you order 'iced thai tea (at a restaurant in New England at least.) Thai Tea is a ground up brownish reddish color loose tea with a distinctly vanilla flavor (to me, but the ingredient list says 'thai tea and star anise'.) It is very inexpensive (~$1-$4 per pound) but not all Asian stores carry it. You can order through http://importfood.com/thaiicetea.html <br />in WA state.
