Cardamom Chai Smoothie

A spiced, lightly frothy smoothie built on the flavours of a classic chai. Ceylon cinnamon, cardamom, and a touch of black pepper blended with banana and oat milk. Ready in 3 minutes and genuinely warming even cold.

Prep

Blend

1 min

Total

4 min

Serves

1

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 250ml oat milk
  • ½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon powder
  • 2 cardamom pods, seeds removed and ground (or ¼ tsp ground cardamom)
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 to 4 ice cubes

Method

Step 1. Add all ingredients to a blender.

Step 2. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.

Step 3. Pour into a glass. Dust with a pinch of Ceylon cinnamon powder to finish. Drink immediately.

For a warmer version

Skip the ice and use warm oat milk instead of cold. Blend briefly and pour immediately. The result is closer to a spiced warm drink than a smoothie, and works particularly well on cooler mornings.
