Ingredients
Scale
For The Chai Spice:
- 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. cardamom
- 1/2 Tbsp. ginger
- 1/2 Tbsp. cloves
- 1/2 Tbsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
For Chai Spice Banana Smoothie:
- 1 tsp chai spice mixture (above)
- 2 frozen bananas, sliced*
- 1- 1 1/2 cup milk (I like unsweetened almond milk)
- 2 Tbsp almond butter or nut butter
- 2 Tbsp ground flax seed or chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- First, Make The Chai Spice Mixture. Combine all spices together in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 year.
- Combine Smoothie Ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth, adding more almond milk as necessary.
- Garnish & Serve. Top with a drizzle of nut butter, chopped nuts, banana slices, cacao nibs, or your favorite garnish and enjoy right away!
Notes
- Sweet Enough? If your bananas just aren’t that ripe, you may need to add just a small drizzle of pure maple syrup to the mixture. I’ve made this over and over and only needed it once.
- Turn Up The Protein. Feel free to add a scoop of collagen or your favorite vanilla protein powder. It’ll be delicious!
