Chai Tea Warming Smoothie Recipe

Chai Tea Warming Smoothie

My Chai Tea Warming Smoothie Recipe has the warming flavors of India, and acts as a natural digestive aid. It gives you a wonderful sense of well being.

A good cup of tea is like an old friend. It brings comfort on even the rainiest (or snowiest), of days. I’m pretty obsessed with tea myself. In fact, I’m drinking a cup as I write this!

When I’ve traveled to countries like Sri Lanka, Morocco, England and India (where drinking is a huge part of their culture) I’ve grown to appreciate it even more.

So I thought, with all the benefits such as antioxidants in tea, why not create a new smoothie recipe with tea actually in it. Interesting, right? 🙂

What Is Chai?

Chai (which is pronounced so that it rhymes with pie), is from India and is a spiced milk tea. It’s generally made up of rich black tea, heavy milk, various combination of spices, and a sweetener.

Thankfully, we’ll be brewing organic chai tea. We will also be using plant-based coconut milk and coconut nectar (or raw honey). Please feel free to use other substitutes)

Having digestive issues? Then you’ll want to click here!

My Adventure With Chai While In India

I drank tons of chai the first time I went to India, driving on trains through small villages. Men with thermoses would pour it into my cup right through the windows of the train.

However, I noticed that some of the thermoses were getting filled with water that came from the communal bathing spots.

I saw some people scooping the water right from the washing bins. And while the water was boiled to make it safe to drink, it was just too much for me.

Sad to say, that was the end of my chai drinking adventures. Which was good thing anyways, as I was past due on giving up dairy as well, at that point!!

Most Common Spices Used

The most common spices that are used in chai are cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and pepper. Though the spices used vary from region to region (even among households in India).

And what do these spices have in common? They provide anti-Inflammatory effects, antioxidants, and digestive support!

Now it’s time to see this smoothie come to life for you!

Kimberly with Bees!

So fun wearing the beekeeper outfit!! ?. I recently was able to visit an organic local apiary to learn more about bee pollen (which is an amazing beauty food full of protein and B vitamins I’m obsessed with) and ethically sourced raw honey. There’s over 1,000 bees on this tray!!

    Thank you for the warm smoothie recipe. I just can’t drink any coldish smoothies this time of year. The GGS at room temperature is all I can manage.

    Is the coconut milk canned? Can’t wait to try this!

      Thanks for checking out my new recipe Anna. It’s best to stay away from canned goods as much as possible since they have BPA, which is a chemical compound that mimics hormones and disrupts the endocrine system in the human body. There are many brands out there you can google that are in cartons, and don’t hesitate to ask your local market or health food store to carry a brand that is safe. Let me know what you think about the smoothie and sending lots of love! 😉

    I’m curious to know if this drink would be hot, room temperature, or cold. It reminds me of a latte without the hassle of frothing the “milk”. I really want to try this.

      Hi Davina and thanks for checking out my smoothie recipe. You can make this whatever temperature you like but generally my smoothies are on the cold side. Try it a few different ways and see which you like best. Be sure to let us know what you think. Sending lots of love! 😉

    Hi Kimberly, What kind of Chai do you recommend? I’ve never had a good cup of chai at home, I normally need to get it from a barista. The tea bags just don’t taste aw full with water. Any suggestions?

      Hi Amanda, Thank you for writing in! I typically always look for organic brands for tea, I don’t have the powdered chia, I would explore different brands of the actual tea bag and then you can include some stevia and steamed almond or hemp milk to give it that chia latte feel! – xo!
