Pineapple Avocado Smoothie with Chamomile Tea

Chamomile has a gentle, honey like scent that suits ripe banana surprisingly well. This is the mildest of the pineapple and avocado smoothies, creamy and calm rather than sharp.

About this smoothie

Chamomile tea is a classic herbal infusion without caffeine, with a floral aroma reminiscent of honey and hay. Here it replaces water and adds depth without sweetness. Half an avocado brings creaminess, half a banana adds natural sugar, and pineapple provides the freshness.

The smoothie suits a relaxed breakfast or a quiet afternoon. It is less tart than the fruit tea version and gentler than the peppermint one.

Bartender tips

  • Loose chamomile flowers give a rounder taste than dusty tea bags.
  • Use a frozen banana half for extra thickness.

Variations

With honey
Stir in 1 tsp honey if you like it sweeter; it echoes the chamomile aroma nicely.
