About this smoothie

Using cooled fruit tea as the liquid adds flavour and colour without extra sugar; berry or hibiscus blends suit raspberries particularly well. Frozen raspberries are available all year, keep their aroma and give the smoothie a thick, sorbet-like texture. Raspberries contain fibre and vitamin C. The banana brings sweetness and body, so the drink stays fruity and light without dairy.

Bartender tips

  • Brew the tea a little stronger, as the fruit dilutes it.
  • Let the frozen raspberries thaw for 5 minutes if your blender is weak.

Variations

Creamy version
Replace half the tea with oat milk or yoghurt.
