I am a big fan of both chai and vanilla and let me tell you, they are even better together! Bhakti Chai makes these chai drinks blended with non-dairy milk as well as concentrates that you can buy to mix with your own milk of choice. I have tried and reviewed Bhakti Chai on here before if you’re curious about all the different varieties they have. This protein smoothie is made using their Toasted Coconut Almond Blend, but you could honestly use any of the Bhakti Chai varieties in place of it. In addition I added a scoop of Plantfusion Unflavored protein powder, but vanilla protein works just as well in this recipe. The final result is a well-balanced sweet and spicy smoothie that brings out the chai-lover in all of us.

Ingredients
- 1 cup (1/2 a bottle) Bhakti Chai Toasted Coconut Almond Blend
- 2 dates
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (optional, if you want it less spicy)

- 1/2-1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder (I use Plantfusion)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (omit if using a vanilla protein powder)
- pinch of pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
- ice

Notes
- Any variety of Bhakti Chai will work in place of the Toasted Coconut Almond Blend. Even the concentrate, you will just have to add more non-dairy milk.
