Ingredients
Scale
To create this smoothie, you’ll need just a few kitchen staples that you probably already have on hand. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 ripe bananas (frozen if you like a thicker texture)
- 1 cup of brewed black tea, cooled
- 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of ice cubes
If you’re out of black tea, feel free to substitute with green tea for a different flavor profile. And if you’re dairy-free, coconut yogurt makes a great alternative!
Instructions
Ready to whip up this delightful treat? Follow these simple steps:
- Start by brewing your favorite black tea and letting it cool. This is a great time to sip a little on the side, just like how my dad would sneak tastes while cooking.
- In a blender, combine the ripe bananas, cooled tea, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Tip from my kitchen: add the ice cubes last for a smoother blend.
- Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If your blender struggles, pause and stir before blending again.
- Taste your smoothie and add more honey if you prefer a sweeter drink. I always encourage tasting as you go—cooking should be fun, not fussy!
- Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
