Chai Smoothie
Makes 2 16-ounce servings
A good chai is composed of an orchestra of warming spices, which contrast
so nicely with the coolness of a creamy smoothie. Sometimes I’ ll add extra
ice to this blend and eat it with a spoon like ice cream.
3 tablespoons raw cashews
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
2 large Medjool dates, pitted
2 tablespoons cacao nibs
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 teaspoons maca powder
1⁄4 teaspoon chlorella powder(optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1⁄4 teaspoon cardamom powder
2 cups coconut water
1 frozen banana
1 1⁄2 cups ice
Sweetener, to taste (optional)
Blend together all the ingredients, except the frozen banana and ice, until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and blend again until frosty. Taste, and sweeten as desired.
