Hibiscus Plus Ruby Anti-Ox Smoothie

This vivid pink smoothie uses strong hibiscus plus tea as the liquid base, blended with berries for a tangy, antioxidant-rich drink. It is naturally dairy-free and works as either a breakfast smoothie or an afternoon refresher.

Ingredients

• 2 Hibiscus Plus tea bags
• 1 ½ cups just-boiled water
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries
• 1 small ripe banana
• ¼–½ cup coconut yoghurt or other dairy-free yoghurt
• 1–2 tsp maple syrup (optional)

Step-by-step method

1. Steep tea bags in boiled water for 8–10 minutes, then remove and cool completely.
2. Add cooled tea, berries, banana and yoghurt to a blender.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting sweetness with a little maple syrup if desired.
4. Pour into glasses and serve immediately, or chill briefly for an extra-cold smoothie.

Why this tea?

Hibiscus teas are known for their deep ruby colour and tart flavour, making them ideal as a smoothie base without added juices. When combined with berries, the result is a bright, refreshing drink that feels both indulgent and health-focused.

Variations & FAQs
