Notes

To truly elevate this smoothie, ensure your banana is well-frozen and sliced into discs for optimal blending and a creamier texture. Freshly grated ginger is non-negotiable; its bright, zesty kick truly complements the chai. For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cardamom or cinnamon to amplify the chai spices. If your chai latte is unsweetened, you might need a touch of natural sweetener like a date or a dash of maple syrup. Avoid over-blending to maintain a chilled temperature and prevent a frothy, aerated texture.
