Green tea smoothies are refreshing and packed with antioxidants from green tea, which can boost metabolism and support overall health. Here's a general outline for creating one:
Prepare one cup of green tea by brewing it in hot water for 3-5 minutes. Let it cool down to room temperature or refrigerate until chilled.
In a blender, combine the cooled green tea, banana, spinach or kale, Greek yogurt or almond milk, and honey or maple syrup if using. Add a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a colder smoothie.
Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more green tea or almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed. You can also adjust the thickness by adding more liquid or ice cubes.
Pour the green tea smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds, sliced almonds, or a slice of fresh lemon for an extra touch.
Savor the refreshing taste and health benefits of your homemade green tea smoothie, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or energizing snack.
