Berry Chia Smoothie

I’ve been having fun with making cold drink recipes lately, especially using TEA as the base.

Here are some benefits of using teas as your regular beverages:

• Low calories
• Rich in anti-oxidants
• Powerful anti-inflammatories
• Boosts our immune systems

In this recipe I used Wild Berry Zinger tea with hibiscus, rosehips and citrus flavours which are naturally sweet and give a great boost of energy in the morning.

Now let’s get into the recipe.

2 cups wild berry zinger tea

1/4 cup milk of choice

1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder

2 tbsp monkfruit sweetener OR 1 tsp of honey

1/2 tbsp chia seeds

Frozen berries (optional)
