Mango and banana on their own would be very sweet. Fennel tea brings a light aniseed note that makes the smoothie more interesting and less cloying.
5 oz
fennel tea
1
mango wedge ripe, flesh only
½
banana
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Thick, sweet and tropical with creamy mango and banana and a light aniseed finish.
Mango and banana are two of the creamiest smoothie fruits, so this drink turns thick and velvety without any milk or yogurt. Mango is known for vitamin C and beta carotene, banana for its potassium. Fennel tea, a caffeine free herbal infusion, replaces water and adds a subtle, sweet aniseed aroma.
The result is a filling fruit smoothie that works well as breakfast. The tea should be completely cold, otherwise the smoothie turns lukewarm.
Yes, it contains only fruit and tea.
Only subtly; the fruit dominates and the fennel adds a light aniseed note.
Yes, but the tea adds flavour without sugar.
