Directions
Steep the green tea in a bowl of boiling water for about 5 minutes. While the tea is brewing, toss the orange, pineapple, and kiwi into your blender and pulse until they’re nicely combined. Once the tea has steeped, take out the tea bag and pour the tea into the blender with the fruit. Give everything a quick blend to mix it together. Finally, add the yogurt and blend again until the smoothie is creamy and smooth. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!
