Subject: Yet another drink to try

John,

For the past few weeks I have been drinking Arizona Diet Green Tea.  It can be purchased in various sizes up to one gallon.  The gallon size cost about $3 and last some time.  Zero calories and no carbonation makes it a great option.

Just last week I discovered Citrus flavored Diet Green Tea made by Lipton.  The citrus flavor suits me fine and gives me yet another option.

Something I also do is add sugar free vanilla flavoring to the tea.  I purchase a large bottle from Starbucks for $7 and it last weeks since a little bit will work.  Really makes it taste extra refreshing if you like a vanilla taste.

One last thing I do, matter of fact I am drinking one now.  From time to time I find myself not as regular as before being  banded.  Back then, 5-10 minutes after breakfast I was heading to the reading room.   Since being banded, every 3 days or so is the norm.

So, I discovered a great way to work on that issue.  I  put some ice cubes in the blender or  bullet, what ever is more handy.  I then add the diet green tea.  Now the secret....I then add the required amount (two scoops) of sugar  free "Citrucel" and top it off with some sugar free vanilla syrup and blend.  The Citrucel thickens the brew as does the ice.  End results...Dream Cycle in a cup.  Thick.  Cold.  Calorie free.  Sugar free.  Healthy.  Damn  tasty.

Since doing this, about a week now, my reading room trips are every other day.

Its ALL Good

Give it a try.
