With all the recent news about bottled tea's lack of antioxidants, it might be tempting to throw in the towel on a nascent tea habit. However, there are lots of other easy and delicious ways you can enjoy teas besides low-antioxidant bottled teas, including drinking antioxidant-rich fresh-brewed tea and eating foods made with powdered tea (which is extra-high in antioxidants).I find newer tea drinkers and sweet tea drinkers tend to love making and drinking tea smoothies, which can be prepared quickly and easily with powdered teas or brewed-and-frozen tea "ice" cubes. With that in mind, I created a new list of the top tea smoothie recipes on About.com. The list includes a range of fruit and tea flavor profiles, such as Elin Headrick's Fruity Green Tea Smoothie Recipe, a Tropical Date-Black Tea Smoothie and a Peach Rooibos Smoothie (pictured here).

Lindsey,
Those recipes are absolutely awesome, especially the banana and date ones. My parents are from Pakistan, and we ate a lot of dates growing up. I have to say, hands down, the best smoothies in the world have either dates or mangos (bananas too
These are great finds. I’m a little too lazy to make my own date smoothies, but they are SOOO good.

Thanks, Raza! I was considering adding a mango smoothie to the list. Perhaps I’ll do that soon…
