Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed tea (black, green, or herbal)
- 1 medium frozen banana
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Brew 1 cup of tea by steeping your desired tea bag or loose tea leaves in hot water for 3-4 minutes, then let it cool completely. You can brew the tea in advance and chill it in the refrigerator for a quicker prep time.
In a blender, combine the brewed and cooled tea, frozen banana, frozen mango chunks, plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a chilled and creamy texture.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend briefly to incorporate.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with a sprig of mint or a slice of fresh fruit (optional), and serve immediately.
