Coffee smoothies are the perfect solution: a delicious treat for any time of day, and one that you can get mighty creative with.

Below are four of the coolest eco-friendly, wine-related initiatives we’ve come across, from wine storage products, to rafting cruises, to socially responsible sweepstakes.

Lipton got one thing right about iced tea – the golden beverage is definitely brisk. And while iced tea is undeniably tasty year-round, it’s especially refreshing and fun to brew in the summer.

This simple-to-make beverage is good for you (hello, antioxidants! Both green and black tea can reduce the risk of heart disease and may prevent cancer), and can be tweaked to take on almost any flavor.

You may be wary of fava beans, particularly if you saw The Silence of the Lambs, but also because of their price. In the States, most food that isn't local has to be priced by volume because of the cost of transportation, so fava beans may cost you a pretty penny, especially considering how little food you get inside the giant pods.
