GREEN TEA STRAWBERRY REFRESHER

I got to take an amazing break from the cold weather in Canada and enjoy the heat in MIAMI!

#BEACHLIFE

While I was there I got to make some amazing vegan food with my sister who just converted into a vegan after years of being vegetarian! If you want to search her up on instagram her name is @SylviaPawelec ! 

We decided that we wanted to make a caffeinated refresher to beat the Miami heat in the mornings and this is what we came up with. ITS DELICIOUS!!

Ingredients:

- Brewed green tea
- Strawberries
- Squeezed lemon juice
- Ice

Directions:

Add everything into a blender and enjoy! If you like your tea's sweeter add a bit of stevia or palm sugar!
