Chai smoothie

A little sick this morning, I felt I needed a cosy smoothie to get me through the day.

Opted for this vegan chai spiced version, I had tried and loved in Australia a few months ago.

It is super balanced, blending fruits and veggies :), proteins and good fats. And the spices will bring a nice flavor and are said to have great anti inflammatory qualities !

I guess it could become a regular, as it turned out so good !!

Sharing the recipe below so you can enjoy it too and share your comments 🙂

Enjoy

INGREDIENTS

  •  1 frozen ripe banana cut in chunks
  • 2/3 cup peeled cucumber
  • 1/3 cup almond milk (unsweetened, better if home made 🙂 you can switch for other plant based or even regular milk if you are not vegan)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter (or hazelnut or PB)
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed flour
  • 1 tbsp vegan protein
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/8 to 1/4 clove (according to your taste)
  • 1/4 tsp cardamon

Put everything in your high speed blender, adding the milk gradually up to the consistency you like.

Drink it or have a smoothie bowl, adding some crunchy bites like raw cacao nibs, dried mulberries, dried apples or figs, ..

ENJOY 🙂
