An image of a Banana Masala Chai Smoothie made with instant chai tea and strawberries.

Instant chai concentrate adds flavor to this basic banana smoothie recipe. The serving in this image was made using frozen strawberries, which are optional in this recipe.

This instant Banana Chai Tea Smoothie recipe is very quick and easy to make. Simply freeze chai concentrate in advance for an instant tea smoothie whenever you need an energy boost.

Yield: 1.5 to 2 cups

Ingredients:

  • 4 chai ice cubes (made by freezing a chai concentrate, such as Rishi's Masala Chai Tea Concentrate, in an ice cube tray)
  • 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 1 frozen banana (This is a great way to use up over-ripe bananas. Just peel them, put them in a freezer bag and freeze them to use in smoothies.)
  • Up to 1/2 cup frozen berries, such as strawberries, blueberries or mixed berries (Optional)

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
