I have been in love with chai....a creamy and sweet Indian tea...for many years. So anytime I see it in a recipe, I get right on it.
This recipe is so simple and so delicious. If you want to steep the tea bag...as I did..you need to think ahead so the milk can chill...otherwise, just add the spices until you get the taste you like.
I had never had cardamom before I enjoyed my first chai, but it's definitely necessary to make it taste like the 'real deal'.
I added protein powder to this so it would hold me through the morning.
Hope you'll enjoy it soon.
VANILLA CHAI PROTEIN BREAKFAST SHAKE
1 very ripe frozen bananas
(I keep banana slices in the freezer on hand for recipes like this)
1 c. milk of choice
(I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk..only 30 calories per cup!)
1/2 tsp. each cinnamon and ginger
dash of each of these; pepper, cardamom, cloves and nutmeg
(Or you can eliminate spices and steep a chai tea bag in hot steamed milk...then chill before blending everything)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 pkt. sweetener (I prefer Truvia)
whipped topping - caramel and chocolate syrups for garnish
Combine all ingredients in blender; blend for at least a minute until smooth and frothy. Serve cold or you can make this warm too if you prefer.
