How will this blueberry tea smoothie make your life easier?

Smoothies are a great way to a quick breakfast, they’re also a great option for when you don’t have much in the fridge. It’s made with pantry staples like frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, and tea.

Here are a couple other quick breakfast ideas: Mixed Fruit Smoothie with Granola, or this PB Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Also check out these other breakfast recipes.

What makes this tea smoothie so good?

  • Lemon and ginger teabag
  • Vanilla Greek yogurt 
  • Frozen blueberries

How do I make this blueberry tea smoothie?

Start by steeping teabag in 8 oz boiling water for 3-5 minutes (depending on how strong you want the lemon-ginger flavor). Throw away teabags after tea is made.

Expert Tip: Boil water in the microwave or in a tea kettle.

Expert Tip: Lemon ginger tea is really good in this, but lemon tea or ginger tea would be great too. Use whatever zippy tea you have on hand.

Add tea, 2/3 c vanilla yogurt, and 1/2 c frozen blueberries to blender. Blend until well incorporated. If you’d like it to be thinner, feel free to add more water or milk to smoothie.

Expert Tip: Frozen fruit is better than fresh because it’ll make the smoothie icy and cold. Add a couple ice cubes if you don’t have frozen berries.

Expert Tips

  • Boil water in the microwave or in a tea kettle.
  • Lemon ginger tea is really good in this, but lemon tea or ginger tea would be great too. Use whatever zippy tea you have on hand.  
  • Use your favorite flavor of yogurt. Plain, vanilla, and blueberry would be great choices!
  • Frozen fruit is better than fresh because it’ll make the smoothie icy and cold. Add a couple ice cubes if you don’t have frozen berries.

FAQ

What do you put in a smoothie?

Some of the yummiest ingredients to add to a smoothie are: berries, bananas, tropical fruits, milk, fruit juice, yogurt, leafy greens (spinach & kale in particular), and you can also add nut butter, & seeds.

Do you make smoothies with milk or water?

I always use milk because of the added flavor and protein. fruit juice will add more nutrients and flavor than water. But just adding a dash of water won’t dilute the smoothie too much, so that’s fine.

What can I make with leftover ingredients?

  • (frozen blueberries) add to any other smoothie like this mixed berry smoothie w/ granola, or this Turkey & Brie Sandwich with Blueberry Mustard (I won an award for it!)
  • (Greek Yogurt) Peanut Butter Overnight Oats, Overnight Oats with Yogurt, Yogurt Bowl, or this Apple and Yogurt Tart.
