I love how warming chai tea is. The cinnamon and cloves are just like a nice big hug, and the cardamom and cloves add such a delicious spice to it that I can’t seem to get enough!
The first time I tried it was at Starbucks, where I had their chai latte. It was love at first sip, and whenever I passed one in London (which is just about everywhere!) I had to go in and get one. Since going off refined sugar and dairy, I needed to find an amazing alternative that would keep me happy without having to compromise on flavour, and since it’s currently summer in Sydney (though it’s been super windy and rainy lately) I decided I needed a clean summer version of my addiction.
Besides the amazing healing spices from the chai I’ve also added some cashews and banana for creaminess, and mesquite and lucuma powders for a superfood kick. Also, mesquite has an amazing, caramel-ly taste to it that goes so well with this! And since for me there is no such thing as a shake without vanilla, I’ve added the seeds from the vanilla stalk, which just gives it the most gorgeous speckled look!
I love having this shake as a mid-morning pick-me-up, feels like I’m having dessert!!
Have you guys tried chai?? Do you love it as much as I do??
