Instructions
Making this smoothie is as simple as can be. Just follow these steps, and you’ll have a delicious treat ready in no time:
- Start by brewing your favorite tea and letting it chill. This is a great time to experiment with different flavors — green tea offers a mild, refreshing taste, while black tea provides a deeper, richer flavor.
- In a blender, combine the ripe bananas with the chilled tea, almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
- Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
- Once blended to your liking, pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
