[pct-l] Favorite Trail Shakes

[dicentra]

The product I am talking about is an iced tea mix, not matcha for hot green tea. This is the brand that I'm using, but upon googling I see there are several others. http://www.amazon.com/Yamamotoyama-Original-Unsweetened-Iced-Green/dp/B0007A0PWQ/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1266944926&sr=8-14

I think Matcha would work, but you'll get a different result. It doesn't dissolve like the iced tea mix does - probably fine for a trail shake. And excellent added to puddings or mousse mixes. :)

Dicentra,  Why specifically not matcha?  You've peaked my curiosity as I am drinking some now...  
Always up for a new perspective,
