From weight loss to certain types of cancer prevention to reducing the risk of heart disease, there is no denying the nutritional benefits to consuming Green Tea. However, experts say that in order to receive the benefits of green tea, one would need to drink an average of 3-6 cups every day…that’s a lot of green tea! I have put together a list of other products that contain green tea; and while they may not be as healthy as drinking actual green tea, they sure are more fun!
# 1: Alcohol
Straight up, shaken or stirred…with Zen Green Tea liqueur, we can take the phrase “drink to your health” quite literally!
#2: Chocolate
This childhood favorite gets a green tea flavor boost. Wondering where to get it? A trip to Chocolate World in Hershey, PA is all it takes.
#3: Ice Cream
Smooth, creamy, and a rich green tea flavor? What’s not to love!!
#4: Soda
It may sound weird, but green tea with a little carbonation has actually made quite a mark on the soda market.
#5: Yogurt
Trader Joe’s European style yogurt makes a Green Tea flavor that is creamy and delicious. I personally love to pour mine over a bowl of strawberries!
#6: Green Tea Chai
A little sweeter and a little creamier, the Oregon Chai brand turns regular green tea into a frothy latte.
#7: Cupcakes
If Sex and the City were still on today, you can be sure green tea cupcakes would have made a cameo.
I would love to receive inofrmation on health and green tea, I love drining perpament green tea, chai tea and sometime rooibos tea.
Great post! I would also suggest Enviga, which is a sparkling green tea made by Nestea. It’s delicious!
Green tea ice cream? I think that is pure genius. :D
Loved your post. Im partial to the green tea martini and was first introduced to green tea ice cream when I lived in Hawaii. Another fav is Ochazuke: green tea soup with rice. I like to add salmon to mine. Simple to make and Simply fabulous to taste.
