Instead of juice or milk, cooled fruit tea carries this smoothie. The avocado turns it thick and silky, while the tea adds a berry note without making it sweet.

Avocado Smoothie with Fruit Tea
Smooth and velvety, mildly fruity from the tea, with the gentle nutty note of ripe avocado.
Using brewed tea as the liquid is an old trick from the smoothie kitchen: it adds aroma but hardly any calories, so the avocado can take centre stage. Avocado is known for its mostly unsaturated fats and gives the drink real body, which is why a single fruit is enough for a large glass.
The taste depends on the tea. A hibiscus or berry blend makes it tangy and faintly pink, an apple and cinnamon tea softer and rounder. It suits a light breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack.
Yes. Berry and hibiscus blends taste the fruitiest, apple or peach blends are milder.
It is vegan if you leave out the honey or replace it with agave syrup.
It is best fresh, since cut avocado darkens. Covered in the fridge it keeps for a few hours.
