Kiwi Spinach Smoothie with Mint Tea

Taste

Fresh and tangy, cool mint with kiwi and lime, sweetened by apple, light in body.

About this smoothie

Using tea as a smoothie base adds flavour without sugar. Peppermint tea is a caffeine free herbal infusion with a cooling taste that suits green, fruity combinations. Kiwis are known for their vitamin C and bring a tart freshness, while a red apple balances it with sweetness. Baby spinach adds colour and a mild green note.

The result is light and refreshing, a good drink for warm mornings or a cool break after sport.

Bartender tips

  • Brew the tea the evening before and chill it overnight; then the smoothie takes two minutes.
  • If it is too tart, add 1 tsp honey or half a banana.

Variations

Green tea version
Use cooled green tea instead of peppermint tea; note that it contains caffeine.
