- ½ cup hot water
- 1 chai tea bag
- ½ cup spinach
- 1 pear cored and peeled
- ¼ inch ginger root
- ½ cup coconut milk warmed
- ½ banana
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 serving collagen peptides
Instructions
- Place chai tea bag in hot water for 5 minutes. Squeeze tea bag to extract most liquid and toss bag.
- Blend tea, spinach, pear, gingerroot and coconut milk on high speed until smooth.
- Next, add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. If using collagen, add last and blend on low.
- Pour into a mug and enjoy. If it's not warm enough, microwave until desired temperature.
Notes
- Use caution when blending hot ingredients. Be sure to vent the lid so the liquid doesn't leak and splatter. Blend on low speed, working up to high speed until smooth.
- Collagen peptides add protein to this smoothie. If you don't have it, you can leave out or add in 2 tablespoons raw cashews for a protein boost.
