Chai Chia Smoothie

Chai cold or hot, summer or winter, I think most of us can agree, it’s a tasty treat! The spices in this smoothie have a warming quality which is great for cold summer mornings or transitioning into fall and winter.

Ginger is a wonderfully warming herb with many health-promoting benefits like supporting blood circulation, is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and has antiseptic qualities to name a few.¹ Cinnamon is also a warming herb and helps with blood sugar regulation.²

Enjoy sinking into this delicious and nutritious treat!
