Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed tea (black, green, or herbal), cooled
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 medium banana, frozen
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brew the tea and let it cool completely. For a stronger flavor, use 2 tea bags per cup of water.
- Add the cooled tea, milk, frozen banana, yogurt (if using), sweetener, and vanilla extract to a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. If too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Tips
- For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk and omit yogurt.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green tea smoothie.
- Store leftover smoothie in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake or blend before serving.
