Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed rosehip tea, chilled brewed from 2 tea bags or 2 tbsp dried rosehips, steeped for 10 minutes
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks

Notes
Storage & Make-Ahead: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately. If you need to store it, pour into an airtight jar, leaving minimal air space, seal tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; shake or stir vigorously before drinking as separation may occur. For a quick morning routine, you can pre-brew and chill the rosehip tea up to 3 days in advance. Variations: For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt or a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Add a handful of spinach for extra greens without altering the flavor significantly. Substitute the tropical fruits with 1 cup frozen strawberries and 1 cup frozen peaches for a different berry twist.
