Rooibos has a naturally sweet, slightly vanilla-like flavour, and chilled it makes a lovely base for fruit. Pineapple brings tang and juice, a red apple mild sweetness.

Pineapple Apple Smoothie with Rooibos Tea
Fruity and light, tangy pineapple and sweet apple on a soft, honeyed rooibos base.
Rooibos is a South African herbal tea made from the leaves of the rooibos shrub. It is naturally caffeine free and has a round, slightly honeyed taste with hints of vanilla, so it pairs well with sweet fruit. Pineapple adds acidity and a tropical aroma, and a red apple gives the smoothie body and a gentle sweetness.
Without banana or dairy, the smoothie stays light. It suits any time of day, including the evening.
