Green tea gives this simple banana smoothie a fresh, slightly grassy note that keeps it from tasting too sweet. Yogurt adds creaminess and a gentle tang.
1
banana ripe
2 tbsp
natural yogurt
3½ oz
green tea brewed and fully cooled
1 tsp
honey to taste (optional)
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and sweet, with a soft yogurt tang and a light, grassy green tea finish.
Banana and yogurt form one of the most familiar smoothie bases: thick, creamy and naturally sweet. Replacing milk with green tea makes the drink lighter and adds a subtle herbal aroma. Green tea contains some caffeine, though less than coffee, so this smoothie fits better in the morning than at night. Bananas provide potassium and slow-release carbohydrates, which makes the drink a practical breakfast or pre-workout snack.
Yes, a little from the green tea. Use decaffeinated green tea if you want to avoid it.
Yes, use plant-based yogurt and agave syrup instead of honey.
The tea can be brewed ahead; blend the smoothie fresh, as banana browns quickly.
