This smoothie hits the spot every-time! It’s perfect for a filling, but lighter breakfast and can be taken on the go. If chai tea isn’t your thing, it would taste equally as good with coffee (just replace the Chai tea and follow the same instructions)!
Ingredients
- 8 oz milk (any kind) plus more for topping
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 scoop 100% Cacao powder (just use the protein powder scooper to measure!)
- 1 serving Chai Tea (I use Four Sigmatic Mushroom Chai)
- 8 ice cubes
- 1 cup frozen cucumber, chopped
Instructions
- Make Chai tea and place in the freezer to cool while you prepare the remaining ingredients
- Add 8oz milk, the vanilla protein powder, Cacao powder, ice cubes and frozen cucumber to a high powered blender (I use a Vitamix)
- Add the chilled Chai tea to the blender
- Blend all ingredients until completely smooth (using the Vitamix, I start at level 1 and slowly work my way up to level 10)
- Pour smoothie in to a glass or mason jar
- If you have a milk frother, froth about 1/3 cup milk and slowly pour over the smoothie – if you do not have a frother, just pour milk as is over the smoothie. This creates a little extra creaminess!
- Note: Store leftovers in a Tupperware container and keep in the freezer…when ready to use again, thaw on the counter until you can start to break pieces off with a fork. Once thawed enough, place back into the blender, add a little extra milk and re-blend!
