Tips
We love to add our BBN tea to our smoothies. Simply make up a pot of tea, strain and keep in the fridge to be added to smoothies instead of water. You can even freeze the tea into ice cubes and add to your smoothie when blending.
You really can’t go wrong experimenting with smoothies. Try a combination of whatever you have on hand and have fun with the different flavours!
We like to prepare a ‘batch’ of smoothies at once: chop all ingredients and place in airtight containers or bags, and then freeze. Let this defrost in the fridge overnight and just add the liquid in the morning when blending.
