Thirsty Thursday – Calm Chamomile Banana smoothie

August 23, 2012 Food & Wine, Health No Comments

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.
