A Sweet and Spicey Cold Drink
A good chai latte tastes delightfully like Christmas in a cup. However, A) good chai is hard to come by these days, and B) it's exactly 7 months until Christmas eve. My solution, a chai smoothie. Chia, chai to be exact. This is not your usual smoothie, but its nice to get out of the usual strawberry-banana, or peanut butter banana smoothie routine. Note this photo was taken from choosingraw.com. I can assure you my recipe will have the similar coloring and texture if you are worried.
Ingredients
- 1 chai tea bag
- 1/3- cup hot water
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 1 frozen banana broken in chunks
- 3 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp chia powder or seeds (use ground flax seeds if you don't have chia)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger
Directions
- Brew the tea in the hot water for 3-4 minutes. Strain the liquid and cool for a few minutes.
- Add the brewed tea and all the other ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
