Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strong brewed chamomile tea, chilled
- 1 large frozen banana, sliced
- 2 slices (approx. 1 oz) low-sodium turkey turkey ham, finely diced
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Step 1: Brew the chamomile tea strong (using 2 tea bags for 1 cup of water), then allow it to cool completely in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.
- Step 2: Prepare the turkey turkey ham by finely dicing the slices. For an enhanced savory flavor, lightly crisp the diced turkey ham in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes, then let it cool to room temperature.
- Step 3: Combine the chilled chamomile tea, sliced frozen banana, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and nutmeg in a high-powered blender jar.
- Step 4: Add the prepared, cooled turkey smoked turkey to the blender. Secure the lid and blend on low speed initially, gradually increasing to high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Step 5: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if desired. Pour immediately into a glass and serve chilled.
Notes
- For optimal texture and safety, enjoy this unique blend immediately after preparation; storing leftover portions is not recommended as the consistency will separate quickly.
- Never reheat this chilled beverage; if the texture stiffens while waiting to serve, whisk in a tablespoon of extra chilled chamomile tea to restore the ideal drinking consistency.
- Serve immediately in a tall glass, ideally topped with a light dust of nutmeg and a few reserved, finely diced pieces of crisped turkey turkey ham to hint at the contrasting flavors.
- The secret to integrating the savory element smoothly is ensuring the turkey turkey ham is diced extremely fine and fully cooled before blending, preventing any warm or chunky surprises.
