Taste

Fruity and tangy, lighter than a milk smoothie, with a soft oat body.

About this smoothie

Tea-based smoothies are lighter than milk-based ones and let the fruit taste cleaner. A berry or hibiscus fruit tea adds colour and a slightly tart note that goes well with kiwi.

The oats make it more filling, and the banana adds natural sweetness. It is a good option for anyone who wants an oat smoothie without dairy or plant milk, for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.

Bartender tips

  • Let the oats soak in the cold tea for 10 minutes for a smoother texture.
  • A red fruit tea turns the smoothie a pretty rosy green; a pale tea keeps it bright.

Variations

With yogurt
Add 2 tbsp natural yogurt for a creamier and slightly tangy version.
