What is chai?
For many people in Asian countries like India, chai simply means tea. However, in the West, chai tea has become associated with a delightfully spicy drink that is also wildly popular. Known for its delicious blend of herbs and spices that lend to its unique flavor, chai has made a statement on the world stage.
Besides being oh-so-tasty, chai has numerous health benefits - from helping to improve digestion to alleviating nausea

. Because there's no specific recipe for chai, this flavorful drink may be tweaked and adapted to suit your individual preferences, whether that be full-bodied and heavily spiced, smooth and sweet, or earthy and savory… it is all in the preparation!
Our chai smoothie is naturally sweetened with our Sugar-Free Maple Syrup to enhance the robustness of the spices, creating the spicy-sweet flavor you love. What's more, the syrup is completely free from sugar and fat which makes this drink a much healthier alternative to the kind you'd buy at a coffee shop.
Be sure to top your smoothie with a dusting of extra cinnamon - because why not?!
