If you've been in the store lately, you will have noticed our new Butterfly Blue Pea Flower tea, a flower from Thailand known for its brain-boosting power, mood-enhancing qualities, and of course, its gorgeous blue color. In this post, we show you how to make a simple but delicious smoothie bowl with this tea. It's raw, vegan, paleo-friendly, loaded with antioxidants, minerals, and fiber, has no added sugar, and is very hydrating. You can see the video here!
You will need the following ingredients.
Smoothie:
Suggested toppings (mix and match):
First, add the pea flowers to a french press or diffuser. Crack open the coconut with a cleaver or Coco Jack and pour the coconut water into it. Allow the tea to cold-brew in the coconut water for at least 30 minutes. You can also brew this overnight in the refrigerator.

Scrape out the coconut meat by using the back of the spoon to pry the flesh away from the shell. Add it to a blender, along with all the brewed tea and soaked cashews. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth. You should not see any bits of coconut or cashew- it should look perfectly homogeneous, and have a pastel blue color. Pour this into your serving bowl, and if you wish, you can put it in the fridge to let it thicken further before adding your toppings (this is totally optional). Add your toppings and serve!

One of the most commonly asked questions I hear is, "Is there a tea for weight loss?" The short answer is Yes, there is a tea for weight loss. More than one, actually.
BUT… (you knew this was coming, right?)
Tea alone isn’t a silver bullet. A cup of tea a day in combination with double cheeseburgers, soda, and couch-potatoing your life away, isn’t going to give you the fit, healthy body that you’re going for. What will help you achieve your healthy weight goals are consistent healthy habits: eat clean, move your body, eliminate stress, and drink lots of tea.
It's May already! Can you believe it? Who would have thought we would be where we are now, in this drawn-out state of uncertainty and weirdness? But here we are, and it is my mission to help you feel more grounded, calm, and empowered throughout all of the craziness with our delicious, uplifting teas.
As a good friend of mine recently told me: we're all about Wellness During The Weirdness.

Butterfly blue pea flowers. Their name is so gorgeous they don’t have to do anything to be appreciated. Maybe we should all change our names to Butterfly Blue….
