Thirsty Thursday – Calm Chamomile Banana smoothie
So far I’ve included a few “adult” beverages, but in honor of this Saturday’s SWEAT Party, I wanted to feature a more…healthy drink
Among all of my “likes” during my Tumblr addiction, I saved some links to a few smoothies that caught my eye. Although I’m not a banana person, most people I know like them, so without further adieu, here’s a recipe for a Calm Chamomile Banana smoothie.
Enjoy!
Calm Chamomile Banana Smoothie
vegan, serves two
1/4 cup deeply steeped whole-blossom chamomile tea
1/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup raw cashews
2 frozen sliced organic bananas (small-medium sized)
1 raw ripe banana (small-medium sized)
6 ounces Vanilla Soy Yogurt
*I used the Whole Soy and Co. brand
1 cup ice (coconut water ice cubes preferred)
1 dash cinnamon
1 tsp maple syrup
Garnish: dried Chamomile flowers
To Make:
1. Steep chamomile tea for at least 2-5 minutes. Stick in the fridge to cool for ten minutes.
2. Add all ingredients to blender.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Garnish with whole dried chamomile flowers from a cut open tea bag, or loose tea.
Inhale the sweet smell of chamomile, drink, sip, zen out.
Tip: When freezing bananas, always slice thin so that they blend easily.
