Green Smoothie - "Romaine Rooibos"

2 handfuls baby red & green romaine
3 romaine hearts
1/2 cucumber
1 small handful blackberries frozen
1 large handful pineapple frozen

Dulse
~8 oz rooibos Earl Grey tea
Ice

I found some Rooibos Earl Grey tea at Whole Foods right before I made this so I was excited to try it out. I'm a huge fan of Earl Grey but I don't drink caffeine. It was good but not very Earl Grey tasting (to be expected). I had a serving of it leftover and noticed it when I was making my smoothie and thought, "hey, why not use that instead of water?" It turned out well! This was the first time I had used tea in a smoothie. It gave it a different flavor--slightly sweet and astringent (in a good way).

Green Smoothie Fail - "Dandy Melon"

2 large handfuls baby red & green romaine lettuce
~6 dandelion greens
1/2 cucumber
1/2 Tuscan cantaloupe
Handful frozen mangos
Ice
Water

I thought I'd try a Tuscan cantaloupe...this one was not good.  I'm guessing it just wasn't a good melon rather than that Tuscans aren't good.  It tasted like BO. Here's a tip: taste the produce before you add it to the blender. This recipe is still good though--as long as you use a good melon.
