Bright, citrusy, and genuinely refreshing, this blended drink layers the subtle earthiness of green tea with the sweetness of frozen banana, fresh orange juice, and a zingy hit of lime. Baby spinach sneaks in a gorgeous green color and a boost of nutrients without tasting the least bit grassy — the citrus completely takes over. A little freshly grated ginger ties everything together with a gentle warmth that makes each sip feel more interesting than your average fruit smoothie. Every single ingredient in this blend is naturally free from seeds, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-reading required. Chilling the tea before blending is a small but smart step that keeps the color vivid and the texture silky smooth. Maple syrup adds just enough sweetness to balance the tartness, and you can dial it up or down to suit your taste. Serve it straight away with a wedge of lime for 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.
