Exact quantities, then the method.
This is a proper green breakfast in a glass, with cooled moringa Green Tea standing in for some of the usual liquid. The tea brings a faint, clean lift behind the banana and avocado, which do the real work on texture: banana for sweetness, avocado for a thick, creamy body.

Spinach folds into the colour and disappears in the flavour, so even people who claim to dislike it never notice. Makes one tall glass.
You'll need
- 2 Dalgety Moringa with Green Tea bags
- 100ml freshly drawn water, brought to a rolling boil then left for 2 minutes to drop to about 80C
- 1 large fresh banana, peeled and frozen (about 120g)
- A generous handful of fresh baby spinach leaves (about 30g)
- Half a fresh ripe avocado, peeled and stone removed (about 80g)
- 200ml cold whole milk
- 1 tablespoon of clear runny honey
- 1 small handful of cubed ice (optional, for the serving glass)
- 1 tall 500ml glass
- 1 small heatproof jug
- 1 jug blender
- 1 metal straw
Method
- Brew two tea bags in 100ml of water at around 80C for three minutes, then lift them out without squeezing.
- Stand the jug in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes to cool the tea right down.
- Peel and break the frozen banana into a few pieces and drop it in the blender.
- Add the spinach, avocado, milk and honey, then pour in the cooled tea.
- Pulse on low for twenty seconds to break everything down, then blend on high for about forty seconds until smooth and bright green.
- If it is too thick to pour, loosen it with a splash more milk and pulse again.
- Pour over a little ice and drink straight away, before the avocado dulls the colour.
