Notes
You can use white or green tea kombucha instead of black tea. Subtle flavor changes will depend on the kombucha tea you use as the base.
If you don’t have spinach, you can substitute it for kale, celery, spirulina, or Swiss chard. You may want to cook the Swiss chard slightly or add a few teaspoons of cane sugar to the blend to remove the bitterness.
Experiment with other fruit and spice combinations! Blueberries and kiwis are great additions. Turmeric and fresh ginger can also add some nutrient-rich warmth to the smoothie.
Add coconut, almond, or oat milk if you want to thin out the smoothie while remaining dairy-free.
