Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong chai tea
- 2 medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 frozen ripe banana
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Brew a strong cup of chai tea using your favorite tea blend and let it cool completely. This step ensures the smoothie doesn't become watery.
In a blender, combine the cooled chai tea, pitted medjool dates, unsweetened almond milk, frozen banana, vanilla Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of additional almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Add ice cubes and blend again until the ice is crushed and fully incorporated, creating a cold and frothy texture.
Optional: Drizzle caramel sauce inside the serving glasses for a decorative and indulgent touch.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and, if desired, top with a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon or an extra drizzle of caramel sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Creme Caramel Chai Smoothie!
