Spiced Green Tea Smoothie
Green tea is one of the top fat-burning foods,
thanks to a metabolism-boosting compound known as EGCG. In one study,
drinking four cups of green tea a day helped people shed more than six
pounds in eight weeks!
This rich smoothie is perfect if you get
tired of sipping hot green tea. Flavored with cayenne spices, lemon, and
agave nectar, it provides all the nutritional benefits of green tea and
will fill you up, to boot.
