This smoothie is almost a cold berry tea you can drink with a straw. Strawberries and blackberries give it colour and fruit, fresh mint a cool lift, and fruit tea replaces water with extra aroma.

Berry Smoothie with Mint and Fruit Tea
Light and fruity, ruby red berries with a cool mint note and a fresh, tart finish.
Berries and mint are a familiar summer combination. Strawberries bring sweetness and aroma, blackberries a darker, tarter note and some fibre. Using cooled fruit tea as the base deepens the berry flavour without juice or sugar, and most fruit teas are caffeine free.
Because it contains no banana or dairy, the smoothie stays light and thin. It is a good drink for a hot day, a light breakfast or a break after sport.
Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup instead of honey, or leave the sweetener out.
Yes, frozen berries work very well here.
Not if your fruit tea is caffeine free, which most are.
