Strawberry Arnold Palmer Smoothie

Strawberry Arnold Palmer Smoothie

• 1/8 tsp Xantan Gum dissolved in 3 TB Hot Water
• 2 tsp Lemon Juice
• 1/4 tsp Stevia
• 1 c. Iced Tea
• 1 c. Ice
• 3-4 Fresh Strawberries

Blend all ingredients on high in the blender until frothy.

Do…

• Use strong iced tea. Mine was a little weak and the flavor could have been stronger.
• Dissolve the Xanthan Gum beforehand. It will be lumpy otherwise.
• Experiment with the amounts! These are an estimate of what I used- I don’t measure when I make smoothies, normally.

Don’t….

• Be afraid to try a different twist! Pineapple instead of strawberries?  Honey instead of stevia? Frozen lemonade cubes instead of ice? Do it!
• Serve this half-cold. Sipping after photographing? No thanks! Pop it in the freezer for a few if you need to to keep it nice and chilly.
• Let the sugared rims on the glasses fool you. For photographic purposes only! ;)
