Doin' Some Cookin'... Chai Spice Smoothie

This Chai Spice Smoothie is deliciously spicy from a combination of spices and satisfies my craving for a Soy Chai Latte from Starbucks which is not diet compliant.

Smoothies are just so convenient because of how quick and easy they are to throw together and due to their portability. Health in a glass on the go.

Chai spices are known for their antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and support digestive health.

It doesn't matter that Chai spices are associated with the Fall because this is delicious all year long.

Doin' Some Cookin'... Banana Chai Smoothie

With everything I have going on with being a mom and work obligations I need quick, easy, and delicious breakfast options. Smoothies are the perfect go to. This Banana Chai Smoothie was so much better than I expected. Not gonna lie, when I was whipping it up in the blender I was less than enthused but after the first sip I changed my tune. This has a slight heat to it but cooled by the bananas and coconut milk.

Think I'll skip the Starbucks Soy Chai Latte and blend one of these instead when I'm craving chai spice because with a breakfast like this you skip the mid-morning hungries and gets you through to lunchtime. So much healthier for you too.
