Green Tea Benefits and Green Tea Sangria

Happy New Year! We celebrated the New Year at the beach with Green Tea Sangria. What a beautiful day we had. We started it off at the Rose Marina sitting outside watching the boats head out for a day on the water and the Pelicans waiting for some scraps.

We LOVE Green Tea because it has so many benefits! We try to incorporate the drink into our diet at least once a day. Green Tea is loaded with antioxidants that have some pretty powerful effects on your body, this you can google and find a numerous amounts of reports and articles.

One of them being Fat Loss by increasing your metabolic rate. Green Tea increase levels of hormones that says hey fat cells start breaking down the fat, thus releasing fat into the bloodstream which in turn becomes energy. A great way to get all the antioxidants is to make a Green Tea Lemonade. I found this on the Dr. Oz show. Look for that recipe tomorrow.
We found a study showing that fat oxidation was increased by 17%, meaning that green tea may selectively increase the burning of fat.

      I love green tea, but I've never seen it used in an alcoholic drink! I'll have to bookmark this and look into making some green tea sangria for myself.

      Oh wow I would have never thought to use green tea in an alcoholic drink but I'd love to try this. We drink green tea and alcoholic drinks so it makes sense to combine them lol.

      Well, adding green tea and red wine together is certainly a double punch of health benefits. I need to try making this.

      I can't get into green tea no matter how hard I try! Though, the sangria might be one way to enjoy it!

      Green tea is wonderful for us. I personally would at least try to have at least 3 cups a day.

      Never in a million years would I have thought of using green tea as an ingredient in sangria! But I love them both, so I will for sure give it a try the next time sangria is on my drink menu.
