🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/4 cup frozen blackberries
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup brewed green tea (cooled)
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 tsp monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Brew & Cool Green Tea: Steep 1 green tea bag in 1/2 cup hot water for 3 minutes, then chill for 2 minutes in freezer or use cooled leftover tea. Green tea adds metabolism-boosting EGCG without bitterness.
2. Prep Frozen Berries: Measure blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries directly into blender. Keep them frozen—this creates a thick, sorbet-like texture without ice that dilutes flavor.
3. Add Greek Yogurt: Pour 1 full cup non-fat Greek yogurt into blender. The thickness of Greek yogurt eliminates need for ice cream, coconut milk, or heavy cream.

4. Add Liquid Base: Pour cooled green tea and unsweetened almond milk into blender. The ratio of 1:1 (tea to almond milk) balances hydration with natural antioxidants.
5. Add Nutrient Boosters: Add frozen banana half (for creaminess), ground flaxseed (for omega-3s and fiber), monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract. Do not skip flaxseed—it mimics granola texture.
6. Blend Until Silky: Blend on high speed for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth and no berry chunks remain. The smoothie should be thick enough to eat with a spoon but drinkable through a wide straw.
7. Taste & Adjust: Sip a small amount. If too thick, add 2 tbsp more almond milk. If too sweet, add 1 tbsp plain yogurt. If not sweet enough, add 1/4 tsp more monk fruit sweetener.
8. Pour & Top: Pour into a tall glass and immediately top with sliced almonds, bee pollen, fresh mint, and one whole strawberry. Toppings add texture contrast and visual appeal.
