I created this tropical smoothie recipe when participating in the Mom Blog Tour at the Summer Fancy Food Show on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers. I received The Republic of Tea products to facilitate my review.

Over the summer I had the opportunity to meet with The Republic of Tea at the Fancy Food Show in New York City. I was familiar with the brand, but honestly had no idea they had so many different varieties of tea!

My daughters and I drink a lot of tea, and we all three like to switch it up now and then depending on the time of day and how we’re feeling. The Republic of Tea gets that!

I also did not know about the many gift options from The Republic of Tea. Any one of these teas would be a fantastic gift. Add a bow and a gift tag and you’re done (and appreciated!)

The team at The Republic of Tea told us about how their tea bags are made, and why they do things the way they do. It’s clear they are passionate about tea and seeing people enjoy it!

Our focus at the Fancy Food Show when we met The Republic of Tea was the Organic SuperGreen Tea Collection. Although I already loved The Republic of Tea, these four products were new to me.

All four products in the Organic SuperGreen Tea Collection contain organic matcha, green tea leaves, and functional herbs. People have known for years that green tea contains anti-oxidants that boost the immune system, but Republic of Tea has taken it a few steps further with this Collection:

SuperGreen Tea Immunity: Along with the anti-oxidants already in SuperGreen Tea, they’ve added echinacea, considered to be the body’s “immune stimulant,” as well as elderflower, known for thousands of years to be a powerful healing herb. The hint of orange makes it delicious!

SuperGreen Tea Brain Boost: So many of us rely on coffee to clear the fog in the morning, but did you know that green tea has been shown in studies to enhance cognitive performance? Matcha and green tea give this a small caffeine kick, and ginkgo biloba has been shown to help keep memory sharp. You’ll enjoy the rich flavor of black currants with just a touch of honey.

SuperGreen Tea Serenity: All the goodness of SuperGreen Tea blended with calming lavender and restorative holy basil will lead you to a state The Republic of Tea calls TeaMind.®

SuperGreen Tea Lean Green: You probably already know that green tea combined with matcha is known for increasing metabolism. The Republic of Tea has added cinnamon which suppresses the appetite and reduces cravings. Garcinia cambogia is added as studies have shown it inhibits fat production. If you are one of the millions of people who want to keep your weight-loss goals on track, you need to try SuperGreen Tea Lean Green.

I decided to add the Lean Green variety to a smoothie and it was fantastic! The possibilities are really endless here, so try different kinds of fruits and veggies, and let me know what you think! Just don’t forget to add the SuperGreen Tea.

In fact, any variety could be added to a tropical smoothie depending on the benefits you’re looking for. Enjoy!

Isn’t it great when something that tastes so good is also good for you? And what could be easier than a smoothie recipe for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack? This Berry Mint Yogurt Smoothie is also really healthy and has green tea as an ingredient, too.
