Ingredients
Scale
Gather these simple ingredients, and you’re on your way to a refreshing, energy-boosting treat:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup brewed black tea, cooled
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut yogurt if you prefer a dairy-free version. The honey can be swapped with agave syrup if you’re looking to keep things vegan-friendly.
Instructions
Ready to blend up a storm? Here’s how you do it:
- Start by brewing a cup of black tea. Let it cool to room temperature. I usually prepare this ahead of time, especially when the morning rush is real.
- In a blender, add the ripe banana, cooled tea, Greek yogurt, honey, and ground cinnamon. Don’t worry if your counters get a little messy—it’s all part of the home-cooking charm.
- Add the ice cubes to the blender. This is where the magic happens, and the smoothie gets its refreshing chill.
- Blend until smooth. You might need to pause and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.
- Pour into a glass, and enjoy immediately. Preferably with a good book or some relaxing tunes in the background.
