Recipe Instructions:

1 kiwi
1/4 avocado
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed*
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
5 ounces green tea, brewed strong, cooled
1/8 teaspoon chia seed
1/2 cup rich vanilla ice cream

Directions
Scoop the pulp of the kiwi and the avocado into a food processor or immersion blender mixing cup, along with the mint leaves and lime juice. Blend to a smooth paste with finely chopped mint.
Add the green tea and chia seed; mix until smooth. If you can leave it for a while, it will thicken a bit more. When you are ready to drink it, add the ice cream and blend it in.
NOTES: *If you don't have fresh mint, add a mint tea bag when you brew the green tea. If you have a container with measurements, like a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup, you can simplify the process (and the cleanup) by making it in there with the immersion blender. If you would like to try a SAVORY VERSION, add Green Tabasco to taste, and use milk instead of ice cream.
