Frosteas and Smoothies (Tea Diet Challenge Days 22 & 23)

Thank you all for the get well wishes and the fantastic tea tips... worked like a charm because this is the fastest I've ever been through a winter bug.  Between my tea and lots of rest, I'm feeling pretty darn good now.  Everyone else I know is on anti-biotics or still suffering, so tea and positive thinking has to be the trick :)

(Jerri... I will call you!  Sorry I kept sleeping so much!)

Okay, onto the good stuff.... my 14 day plan is over and went very well.  I didn't feel food deprivation at all, the plan has an awesome varitey, it's extremely flexible, and cooking with tea is so super easy, even I mastered it.

My favorites were the Frosteas, the tea icecreams, smoothies, and fish-based dishes, but everything I tried was a winner.  I'll be using a lot of these recipes continuing forward. 

The only difficult part was cooking separate meals all the time.  Breakfast and lunch were not too difficult, but dinner began to become a chore after 9 or so days.  I'd love it if my family would try some healthier dishes, but in reality, they are a little finicky. 

So, my next goal will be finding ways to make our family favorites healthier without sacrificing taste... and of course, adding some tea :)

One breakfast I found along the way that wasn't in the book is a serving of Kashi Heart Healthy waffles (that are made with tea! and super healthy fiber, etc.) 1 cup of frozen blueberries, and a drizzle of plain non-fat yogurt.  It's a totally great, tasty, good for ya breakfast.  Add your favorite morning tea and you'll be all set!

Hope everyone is doing well, I look forward to reading your posts!

Hugs,
