This smoothie is bright, refreshing, and packed with layers of flavor that go way beyond your average green blend. The combination of citrusy orange and lime, earthy green tea, and sweet frozen banana creates a drink that feels both energizing and genuinely delicious. Baby spinach sneaks in a serious nutrient boost without overpowering the flavor — especially once it's fully blended into that gorgeous green color. A little fresh ginger ties everything together with a subtle warmth that makes each sip feel a bit more alive. Every single ingredient here is completely plant-based and naturally free from any poultry products, so there's zero guesswork about what's in your glass. Chilling the green tea before blending is a small step that makes a real difference, keeping the color vibrant and the texture silky smooth. Serve it immediately with a squeeze of fresh lime and you've got a drink that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

2 servings

1 cup brewed green tea, cooled
1 medium ripe banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen
1 cup fresh baby spinach, loosely packed
½ cup fresh orange juice (from about 1 large orange)
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
1 tbsp maple syrup, or more to taste
½ tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
4–6 ice cubes

For serving

lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Brew 1 cup of green tea and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until cold. (You can do this ahead — chilled tea blends more smoothly and keeps the color bright.)
2
Add the chilled green tea, frozen banana slices, baby spinach, orange juice, lime juice, maple syrup, and grated ginger to a blender.
