Green Tea and Mango Smoothie

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup brewed green tea, cooled
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and cubed
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (use a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Tea:

    • Brew 1 cup of green tea and allow it to cool completely. For a stronger tea flavor, you can brew the tea longer or use two tea bags.
  2. Combine Ingredients:

    • In a blender, add the cooled green tea, cubed mango, banana, and Greek yogurt. If you’re using frozen mango or banana, you might not need additional ice. If using fresh and you like your smoothie colder or thicker, add a few ice cubes.
  3. Sweeten:

    • Add honey or maple syrup to taste. You can adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
  4. Blend:

    • Blend on high until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more green tea to achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Taste and Adjust:

    • Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness or thickness as needed. If it’s too thick, add more tea; if too thin, add more frozen mango or ice.
  6. Serve:

    • Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
