Ingredients:
- 1 cup brewed rooibos tea, cooled
- 1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (use a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
Instructions:
1. Brew the Rooibos Tea:
- Prepare a cup of rooibos tea and allow it to steep for about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool completely, ideally in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare the Smoothie:
- In a blender, combine the cooled rooibos tea, strawberries, banana, and Greek yogurt. If you're using fresh strawberries and prefer a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes.
3. Sweeten:
- Add honey or maple syrup to enhance the sweetness. Adjust according to your preference and the natural sweetness of the strawberries.
4. Blend:
- Blend on high until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the smoothie reaches a smooth consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more rooibos tea or a splash of water to adjust.
5. Serve:
