Chamomile Delight Smoothie

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup brewed chamomile tea, cooled

1 ripe banana

½ cup unsweetened coconut milk

1 tablespoon almond butter

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)

½ cup ice cubes

Directions

I brew the chamomile tea ahead of time and let it cool.

Then, I add the cooled tea, banana, coconut milk, almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup (if I want a bit of sweetness), and ice cubes into a blender.

I blend everything on high until it’s smooth and creamy.

I pour it into a glass and sip immediately for a calming, nourishing treat.

Variations

When I want to change things up, I sometimes swap the banana with frozen mango for a tropical twist. I’ve also added a handful of spinach to give it a subtle green boost. If I’m in the mood for more protein, I include a scoop of plant-based protein powder. And if I don’t have almond butter on hand, cashew butter works just as well.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. But if I need to make it ahead, I store it in a sealed mason jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake or quick blend before drinking, since some separation can happen. I don't recommend reheating—this is meant to be a cool and calming drink.

FAQs

What does chamomile tea taste like in a smoothie?

Chamomile brings a light, floral, slightly apple-like flavor that’s soothing and mellow. I find it pairs beautifully with banana and coconut milk for a subtle, calming blend.

Can I make this smoothie without banana?

Yes, I’ve tried it with frozen mango or pear as alternatives. The texture changes slightly, but it still tastes delicious and smooth.

Is this smoothie good for sleep?

Since chamomile is known for its calming effects, I often make this smoothie in the evening when I want to wind down naturally.

Can I use a different milk?

Absolutely. I’ve made it with almond milk, oat milk, and even soy milk. Coconut milk gives it the creamiest result, but any plant-based milk will work.

Do I have to add sweetener?

Not at all. I skip the maple syrup when the banana is extra ripe or when I want to cut back on sugar. It still tastes great.

Conclusion

The Chamomile Delight Smoothie is a beautiful blend of nourishment and relaxation. Whether I’m kickstarting a mindful morning or winding down a stressful day, this drink helps me feel centered, nourished, and refreshed. It's a small, delicious way I show myself some care.
