Method
- Start by popping the kettle on and making a cup of tea using the 2 teabags *the mug must hold 300ml of water*.
- Steep the tea for no more than 3 minutes and then throw away the teabags.
- Place the cup in the fridge or in a cold place until it has completely cooled.
- Add the banana, pealed pears, spinach, avocado, cooled tea and lime juice to a blender or hand blender, and pulse until completely mixed and smooth.
- For a special aesthetic, pour the smoothie into jam jars and decorate with celery stalks.
- If you find you have a little extra, it is delicious on top of yoghurt or porridge in the morning.
