HeyTea Kale Boost Tea
HeyTea Kale Boost Tea is the green drink on HeyTea’s menu that gets the most “is it actually healthy?” questions. It looks like a wellness smoothie, it’s sold as a superfood tea, and it costs more than most fruit teas. So what’s really in it, how many calories does it have, and is it worth ordering?
This guide covers the ingredients, calories and nutrition facts, price, an honest review, and a simple homemade version.

What Is HeyTea Kale Boost Tea?
It’s a cold, blended fruit tea built on jasmine green tea, with kale for colour and chia seeds for texture. Think of it as a hybrid between an iced tea and a green smoothie. It’s refreshing and fruit-forward, not “grassy.”
What Is in HeyTea Kale Boost Tea? (Ingredients)
The Deliveroo menu lists kale, chia seeds, green grapes, apples, lemons, and jasmine green tea. Here’s what each one does:
- Jasmine green tea: the base. It adds floral flavour and a little caffeine, with almost no calories of its own. Brewed tea has roughly 1 kcal per 100 ml.
- Kale: mostly colour and a small nutrient boost. Raw kale has about 35 kcal, 4.1 g of fibre, and 93.4 mg of vitamin C per 100 g. A drink contains far less than 100 g, so don’t treat it as a serving of vegetables.
- Chia seeds: add fibre, a gel-like texture, and a slightly thicker feel.
- Green grapes and apples: the main source of sweetness and, as we’ll see below, of most of the calories.
- Lemon: brightens the flavour and balances the sweetness.
HeyTea Kale Boost Tea Calories and Nutrition Facts
Here’s the honest answer: we couldn’t find an official calorie or nutrition panel for this drink. Some third-party sites list figures such as 110 to 134 kcal for a 500 ml cup, but they don’t cite an official source, and they contradict each other. We’d rather not repeat numbers we can’t verify.
What we can say from the ingredients:
That means your sugar setting matters more than any other choice. If you want exact figures, check the HeyTea app or ask the store, since recipes and portion sizes can differ between countries.
Is HeyTea Kale Boost Tea Healthy?
Short answer: it’s a lighter pick than a milk tea, but it’s not a health drink.
What’s good about it
- No milk or cream, and no cheese cloud.
- Contains fibre from chia and kale, plus vitamin C from kale and lemon.
- Tea-based, so it’s naturally low in calories before the fruit is added.
What to keep in mind
Who should be careful
- Blood sugar: if you’re managing diabetes, check the sugar content with the store first.
- Blood thinners: kale is high in vitamin K (about 389.6 µg per 100 g of raw kale). If you take warfarin, ask your doctor how much kale is safe for you.
- Caffeine: it contains green tea, so keep it in mind if you’re sensitive.
This is general information, not medical advice.
HeyTea Kale Boost Tea Price
In the UK, the Manchester Piccadilly Gardens listing shows it at £9.20. One third-party site lists it at $9.49 in Canada, but we couldn’t verify that, so treat it as a rough guide. Prices vary by country, store, and delivery platform, so check the app before you order. At that price, it sits at the higher end of the fruit tea range.
HeyTea Kale Boost Tea Review: Does It Taste Like Kale?
Not really. A reviewer at a US student paper wrote that they were surprised by how fruity it was and couldn’t taste any kale. That fits the ingredients: grapes, apple, and lemon do most of the talking.
The same review was less positive on value. It scored the drink 2 out of 5 and suggested you can make a healthier version at home for less money.
Our take: worth a try if you like fruity, lightly tart teas and want something without dairy. Skip it if you want a savoury green drink, or if you’re watching sugar closely.
How to Make HeyTea Kale Boost Tea at Home (Copycat Recipe)
This is our own home version, not HeyTea’s official recipe, so the taste won’t be identical.
Ingredients (makes about 500 ml)
Steps
- Brew the jasmine tea and let it cool completely.
- Blend the kale, apple, grapes, lemon juice, and tea for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth.
- Strain if you prefer a clearer drink.
- Stir in the soaked chia seeds.
- Pour over ice and serve cold.
Using standard ingredient values, this works out to roughly 100 to 150 kcal, depending on the apple size and whether you add honey. That’s our own rough estimate, not a measured value.
How to Order It Lighter
- Choose less sugar or the lowest sweetness level on offer.
- Skip any optional sweet toppings.
- Pick a regular size rather than a large.
- Ask staff if you’re unsure about allergens, since recipes can change.
