Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup brewed green tea (chilled)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Brew and Chill the Green Tea: Brew 1 cup of green tea using your preferred loose leaves or tea bags. Let the tea cool to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to ensure your smoothie stays cold and refreshing.
  2. Prepare the Fruits: Peel and slice one ripe banana. Measure out 1 cup of blueberries, using fresh or frozen. If using fresh blueberries, add ice cubes later to keep the smoothie chilled.
  3. Blend Ingredients Together: In a blender, combine the chilled green tea, banana slices, blueberries, Greek yogurt, and optional honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth, adjusting the consistency by adding more tea for a thinner smoothie or more banana for creaminess.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Add additional ice cubes if desired, garnish with fresh blueberries, mint, or chia seeds, and enjoy the vibrant, energizing beverage right away.

Notes

  • Always use chilled green tea to keep the smoothie refreshing.
  • Frozen blueberries help thicken the smoothie and act like natural ice cubes.
  • Allow brewed tea to chill fully to prevent bitterness.
  • Blend liquids first, then add fruits and yogurt for a smoother texture.
  • Taste before adding sweeteners, as natural sugars come from banana and blueberries.
  • For a vegan alternative, substitute Greek yogurt with almond or coconut yogurt.
  • Add protein powder to boost nutrition for a post-workout snack.
  • Use matcha powder instead of brewed green tea for stronger antioxidants.
  • Incorporate leafy greens like spinach or kale for added nutrients without overpowering flavor.
  • Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Freeze smoothie in ice cube trays for quick, refreshing future servings.
  • Avoid reheating; instead, thaw or freshly blend ingredients for best taste.
