I couldn't really taste the tea (I used pomegranate green tea), since the kiwi and banana dominated, so might just make this with vanilla soy milk next time and skip the steep process. Still yummy though.
Sunrise Smoothie
We tried this smoothie with 2% reduced-fat milk but liked it much better with the soy milk. Any kind of fruit will work--try strawberries or peaches.
