Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brewed chamomile tea, cooled
- 1/2 cup milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
Fruit & Sweetener
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 tbsp honey
Optional
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
- Dried chamomile leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Brew the Tea: Brew 1/2 cup of chamomile tea using chamomile tea bags or loose chamomile flowers. Allow the tea to cool completely to room temperature to avoid melting the ice later and diluting the smoothie.
- Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine the cooled chamomile tea, peeled and sliced ripe banana, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative, and ice cubes if using. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly combined.
- Garnish & Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass. Garnish with dried chamomile leaves and/or a slice of banana if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and soothing properties.
Notes
- Use fully ripe bananas for natural sweetness and best flavor.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- Choose your preferred milk alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk to keep it dairy-free or vegan-friendly.
- Chill the brewed chamomile tea in the refrigerator if you want a faster cooling process.
- If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more chamomile tea or milk accordingly.
- Ice cubes are optional and can be omitted if you prefer a warmer or less diluted smoothie.
- Garnishing with dried chamomile leaves adds a delicate floral aroma but can be skipped.
