I enjoy this Banana Chamomile Tea Smoothie because it feels light, calming, and naturally sweet. I like how the smooth banana texture blends with the gentle floral flavor of chamomile tea and a touch of honey. Whenever I want something soothing and nourishing without feeling heavy, I make this smoothie and take a quiet moment to enjoy it.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it is simple, quick, and comforting. I like that it uses natural sweetness from fruit and honey instead of added sugars. The chamomile tea gives it a relaxing feel, which makes it perfect for slow mornings or peaceful evenings. I also appreciate how easy it is to customize with different types of milk or add-ins.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 cup chamomile tea, cooled
1 large ripe banana
1 tablespoon honey
½ cup milk or preferred milk alternative
Ice cubes, optional
Dried chamomile leaves, optional for garnish
Directions
I begin by making sure the chamomile tea is completely cooled. I peel the banana and break it into chunks. I place the cooled tea, banana, honey, and milk into the blender. When I want a colder smoothie, I add a few ice cubes. I blend everything until smooth and creamy, then pour it into a glass and enjoy it right away.
Servings And Timing
I usually prepare this recipe as one serving. It takes me about 5 minutes from start to finish, especially when the chamomile tea is already prepared and cooled.
Variations
I like to change this smoothie depending on what I have on hand. Sometimes I replace the honey with maple syrup or agave and use plant-based milk for a vegan option. When I want a thicker texture, I add a spoonful of nut butter or rolled oats. For a fresh flavor, I occasionally add a few mint leaves.
Storage/Reheating
I think this smoothie tastes best when fresh. If I need to store it, I keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir it well before drinking. I do not reheat it, as I prefer it chilled or at room temperature.
