Ok so I actually made this accidentally… but it turned out to be the best smoothie bowl ever!
Yesterday I decided I was going to brew some black chai tea, but surprise, I never drank it. I know I’m not alone in this!?
When you first pour it, it’s scorching hot so you let it cool. Then a few minutes turns into hours, and you have cold tea that you’re not gonna drink. SO I decided to put it in the fridge for some iced-tea, and this smoothie bowl was born!
Luckily, I ran out of plant milk, so I decided to use a little chai tea to blend… it was the best accident I’ve made. This nutrient packed smoothie (made with banana, Vegan Vanilla Protein (optional), almond butter and superfoods (optional), is a healthy spin on a chai frappe. Skip the Starbucks sugar bomb, and opt for this recipe.
