Chocolate Chai Superfood Smoothie
Smoothies are my ideal, quick and easy meal I reach for all year! They can be loaded with nutrients, all while tasting like a milkshake. This one is no exception, and has the cozy adds of (homemade) chai spice and chocolate. It is the perfect between refreshing on a summer day and deliciously comforting, with a blanket and fire alongside each sip. Simple make about five minutes of your day and have just one dish to wash, need I say more?
Ingredients:
1 açaí packet or 1/2 ripe banana
1/2 cup (dairy-free) yogurt, unsweetened
1/2 avocado, medium
2-3 cups organic spinach
2 tbsp almond butter*
2 tbsp cacao powder
1 tsp chai spice mix (make your own here!)
1-2 scoops collagen or protein powder of choice
1 cup (dairy-free) milk
1/2 cup ice
Directions:
In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients, except the ice.
Gradually blend in the ice to create your desired consistency. The measurements above create a smooth, yet thick texture.
Pour into your glass of choice and enjoy!
Notes:
While making the smoothie, store your glass in the freezer. This will allow it to keep your smoothie cooler and at the initial consistency for longer!
You can substitute any neutral nut or seed butter you desire, including cashew or sunflower.
