A delicious on-the-go smoothie topped with crunchy, flavorful cocoa nibs.
This tasty, slightly tart smoothie is a great option when you're looking for a refreshing treat that's not too sweet and has a nice complementary crunch. You can substitute in favorite seasonal fruit and adjust tartness as needed to create your perfect sip.
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup chilled hibiscus tea (or to desired tartness)
- 1 cup raspberries, cleaned
- 2 cups strawberries, cleaned
- 1 banana
- 1 cup guava juice
- 2 tsp honey
- juice from ½ an orange
- 2-3 cups ice
- 2-3 tbs Theo Roasted Cocoa Nibs
Instructions:
-
Start by steeping 1 hibiscus tea bag in ½ cup boiling water for 4-5 mins. Remove tea bag and allow to cool, then refrigerate until cold. This can be made in advance and kept refrigerated up to a week.
-
Add raspberries, strawberries, guava juice, half of the chilled hibiscus tea, banana, honey, and orange juice to blender. Blend until smooth.
-
Add the ice, one cup at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition. Stop at two cups unless you prefer a thicker smoothie, then add the third cup.
-
Pour into your favorite glass and top with Theo Roasted Cocoa Nibs.
-
For an extra crunch inside the smoothie, blend a few tablespoons of nibs into the smoothie itself during the addition of ice.
-
Add more hibiscus tea as needed to reach desired tartness level and garnish with fresh fruit.
