If you’re looking for new and exciting tea infused smoothie recipes you’re in the right place. I’ve got no fewer than FIVE comin’ atcha this week.

I go through periods of being obsessed with smoothies. I’m currently in one of those phases.

Mostly because I recently had to face a few chilly facts:

  • It’s been a very sedentary winter for me.
  • Swimsuit season is coming.
  • I want to look hot in our Barcelona vacation pictures. It will be July so I definitely will be hot…but I think you know what I mean.

I know, my shallow is totally showing but I can’t shake it so I just have to embrace it. Which means these extra pounds have got to go.

To set myself up for weight loss success I’ve created some new smoothie recipes. I have to feel like I have something to look forward to or, frankly, I will cheat. It doesn’t have to be chocolate cake. It just has to have a lot of flavor. I’ve found that adding tea to my smoothies broadens their flavor profile and keeps my taste buds interested longer than an average smoothie.

Apparently you agree because these chai pumpkin, earl grey blueberry and hibiscus berry smoothies are in the all-time top five posts on this blog.

If you’ve never had red rooibos tea before, it’s a caffeine free herbal tea with a very unique flavor and a myriad of health benefits. It pairs really nicely with raspberries.

So, blenders up, soldiers! Here’s a new recipe for your tea infused smoothie arsenal. And four more are on their way.

Putting your tea in your smoothie is also a great way for tea lovers to get their daily fix and keep it cool as the weather heats up.

My son says the only thing that could make this smoothie better is vanilla ice cream. Oh, to have a 13-year-old’s metabolism again. Sigh…

If you make one of these smoothies be sure to snap a pic, post it to IG or Twitter and use the hashtag #teainfusedsmoothieweekMLC so I can see it, give it some social media love and swell with pride. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my recipes in your hands.

    I love this!! So refreshing and that colour is gorgeous! ๐Ÿ˜€ I am so jealous (maybe only 5% – 95% of me is really excited for you!) that you’re going to Barcelona! I wish I could be stuffed into your luggage ๐Ÿ˜‰
    My husband and I were talking about how much we miss our younger-selves metabolism! I lost is many years ago, but my husband only lost it a few years ago… but it still may not stop us from adding ice cream ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I wish I could stuff you AND your husband in my luggage. We would have so much fun and basically never stop eating. I have to say it would be incredible with ice cream.

    What a great idea for a set of recipes. My older daughter has got into Rooibos recently, soI think I’m onto another winner from you. Much cheaper than coconut water as the liquid in a smoothie too. Bonus.

      Thank you Julie. It’s really nice to have that distinct rooibos flavor in there. And I’m crazy psyched for this trip.

    I never had a 13 year old metabolism, not even when I was 13, haha! I seriously need to try these tea infused smoothies, I love the idea, and the raspberry and coconut here sound so good! ALSO – you are going to Barcelona? That was my favorite place in Spain, and probably top 3 favorite cities in the world. SO BEAUTIFUL Be sure to check out Park Guell, Gaudi’s work is amazing.

      I’m loving them. The tea lends a subtle but interesting twist to what you’re tongue is expecting. I can’t wait for Barcelona! Keep the recommendations coming. I’m taking a cooking class!!!
