Hibiscus Tea Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup hibiscus tea (brewed strong and cooled)
- ½ cup frozen mixed berries
- ½ banana (fresh or frozen for creaminess)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1–2 tbsp honey or preferred sweetener
- ½ cup ice (optional)
- Fresh mint or lemon wedge (optional garnish)
Instructions:
- Brew & Cool the Tea: Steep hibiscus tea in hot water for 5–7 minutes, then let it cool.
- Blend: Add tea, berries, banana, yogurt, honey, and ice to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Adjust: Add more tea for a thinner texture or more fruit for thickness.
- Serve: Pour into a tall glass and garnish with mint or lemon if desired.
Pro Tip: Boost nutrition by tossing in chia seeds, flax seeds, or even a handful of spinach—it won’t change the flavor but will add extra goodness.
