White Tea Pomegranate Berry Smoothie

A note before we begin, I never measure anything when I cook (unless I'm baking), so measurements here are based on vague ideas of how much whatever I may have added when. You get the idea. The recipe is really more about experimenting and finding what tastes good for you. This is just what I tried, and I found it rather edible.

Ingredients
1 cup Frozen Blueberries
1 cup Frozen Blackberries
1/2 cup Frozen Raspberries
1 cup White Tea, brewed
1 cup Pomegranate berry yogurt (if you can't find this, use either blueberry, blackberry, vanilla or plain)
1/2 can Pomegranate Blueberry juice concentrate
1 cup of water or more depending on preference

I'd start the tea brewing before assembling the other ingredients so it will be ready. Add the blueberries and blackberries to your blender. You can add fewer or more raspberries depending upon your taste, but if you add a lot of raspberries this smoothie can get awfully seedy. I would go for fewer. Add the yogurt, the juice concentrate, the tea, and then using the cup you brewed the tea in, add the water. You probably don't want it to get too watery. Blend briefly so you've still got some good chunks of fruit--yum!

This is a tasty one, I think. The white tea is very gentle and adds a nice aftertaste. I will try to add more smoothie recipes because that is one thing I think I am really good at making. Tell me if you come up with any good variations on this one.
