Fruit tea makes a surprisingly good smoothie base: it adds berry or hibiscus notes without calories from juice. Here it meets tangy kiwi, aromatic passion fruit and mild lamb's lettuce.

Kiwi Smoothie with Lamb's Lettuce, Passion Fruit and Fruit Tea
Tangy and fruity, kiwi and passion fruit over a light berry tea base, fresh rather than sweet.
Most fruit teas are blends of dried hibiscus, rosehip, apple and berries, and they are naturally caffeine free. Chilled, they give a smoothie a fruity, slightly tart base. Kiwi and passion fruit are both tangy and aromatic, so this is a fresh rather than sweet smoothie. Lamb's lettuce contributes colour and a mild, nutty note.
Enjoy it on a warm morning or as a light, cool drink in the afternoon.
No, fruit tea is normally caffeine free; check the pack to be sure.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
A berry or hibiscus blend gives a nice colour and tartness; avoid strongly flavoured teas.
