Recipe for Chai Oat Smoothie

One of my sons gave me a smoothie book last Christmas, "Supercharged Smoothies" by Mary Corpening Barber and Sara Corpening Whiteford, Chronicle Books, 2010. They have a recipe in the book for "Cha Cha Chai" - a chai and fruit blended drink. I thought it was a great idea to use chai in a smoothie so I made a simple one using homemade chai concentrate and oats. If you missed my post about adding oats to smoothies, here it is.

Homemade chai concentrate

Ingredients:

• 1 cup light vanilla soy milk
• ½ cup chai concentrate
• ¼ cup old fashioned oats, uncooked
• ¼ cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
• Ice for serving (optional)
• Cinnamon stick for serving (optional)

Method:

• Mix all ingredients except ice and cinnamon in a blender until frothy.
• Serve garnished with cinnamon (optional).

If you are a fan of chai, give this a try-I think know you'll love it!
