Mango Smoothie Recipe with Green Tea
Description
The recipe begins by steeping green tea bags in boiling water and chilling the brewed tea to cool. Fresh mango flesh (or frozen) combines in a blender with ice, half a frozen banana for creaminess, and optional honey for sweetness. Once the tea is cooled and the bags removed, it is added to the blender and pureed until smooth, creating a thick, cold smoothie.
The mango contributes tropical sweetness and a juicy texture, while the frozen banana adds creaminess and natural body without overpowering the mango. Green tea adds a mild, slightly grassy note that contrasts pleasantly with the fruit. Honey can be included for added sweetness or omitted to keep the smoothie naturally sweetened by fruit alone.
This smoothie serves well immediately while chilled, refreshing on warm days or as a fruit-filled breakfast. Using frozen mango and banana accelerates preparation and thickens texture, while brewing tea in advance facilitates faster assembly.
Ingredients
- 2 Mango or 2 cups frozen mango, ripe
- 1 cup water boiling
- 2 green tea tea bags
- 2 cups ice
- 1/2 banana frozen
- honey optional
Instructions
- Add the tea bags to the hot water, then place in the freezer to cool while you are preparing the rest of the smoothie.
- Peel the mangoes, remove the pit, and place the flesh in the blender. Add the ice, one half of a frozen banana, and 1 tablespoon of honey if you like.
- Then remove the tea from the freezer and discard the tea bags. Pour the tea in the blender, cover, and puree until smooth. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Preparing the green tea ahead and freezing mango chunks helps speed up morning smoothie preparation.
- Adjust the amount of honey to control sweetness based on mango ripeness and personal preference.
