Pineapple Avocado Smoothie with Peppermint Tea

Peppermint tea turns the creamy pineapple and avocado combination into something noticeably cooler. The mint is clear but not overpowering, more like a fresh breath at the end of each sip.

About this smoothie

Peppermint tea is naturally caffeine free and brings a strong menthol aroma, even when cold. Paired with the tropical sweetness of pineapple and the buttery body of avocado, it creates a smoothie that tastes rich yet refreshing.

This version is especially pleasant on hot days. Brew the tea not too strong, about four minutes is enough, otherwise the mint can dominate the fruit.

Bartender tips

  • Add two or three fresh mint leaves if you want even more mint.
  • Freeze the tea as ice cubes and blend them in for a frosty version.

Variations

Lime and mint
Add the juice of half a lime for a mojito style freshness, without alcohol.
