Why don't you just buy green tea capsules?

I like the taste of green tea, and I usually mix 2 cups of green tea with 2 tbsp honey and 1-2 scoops vanilla whey. If you get a sweeter tasting whey, you don't need the honey and the vanilla/green tea mixture tastes pretty good IMO.

They have several flavored green teas which can be drinkin cold, I beleive there was a white rasberry flavor that came out toward the end of my school year this year and it was pretty damn good soooo you could try uping the green tea intake that way

I'd think it would taste really good. I love green tea mochi, so I don't see the problem. If you don't like this tactic, get some pills.

I used to mix 2 cups of frozen strawberries, 2 scoops of whey, a little milk, and green tea all the time for my morning shake. It was the only way I could drink green tea. It seemed to work well. The berries and whey mostly covered up the green tea taste and I seemed to have more energy throughout the day.

Yep, I've done it. It's not bad at all, assuming the rest of your shake is good. After all, they've got green tea ice cream which rocks!
That's a good idea you stumbled upon - keep it up!

If you really do hate the taste of green tea then capsules would a good option for you. Pills are an easily way to get more green tea in your daily diet. Zima's green tea pills contain 500mg of green tea leaf extract that is 90% total catechins and 60% EGCG per pill.

Everyday I drink plenty of green tea, black tea... I hate the taste! You can close your eyes when you drink green tea. The taste disappear  .
