Description

A refreshing and flavorful Vanilla Chai Protein Shake that combines aromatic chai spices with vanilla protein for a nutritious and delicious drink perfect for any time of day.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup chai tea
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup ice


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients. Add the vanilla protein powder, chai tea, ground nutmeg, ground cardamom, unsweetened almond milk, and ice into a blender.
  2. Blend Smoothly. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture reaches your desired smooth consistency.
  3. Adjust Consistency. If the shake is too thick, add a little more almond milk or water and blend again briefly to loosen it up.

Notes

  • Use brewed and cooled chai tea for best flavor and a cold shake.
  • Unsweetened almond milk keeps the shake low-calorie; you can substitute with other plant-based milk.
  • Add a sweetener like honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
  • For a creamier texture, replace ice with frozen banana or Greek yogurt if not vegan.
  • Adjust spices to taste, increasing cardamom or nutmeg for more robust chai flavor.
