Description

A deliciously frosty, naturally sweetened, and lightly spiced smoothie parfait topped with crunchy granola, fresh blueberries, chopped apricots, and maple syrup. Serves 2.


Ingredients

Scale

Banana Chai Smoothie Parfait

  • 5 frozen bananas
  • 1 cup chai tea ice cubes (directions in notes)
  • 2 tbsp coconut cream or coconut yogurt
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 6 pitted dates
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 1 pinch dried ginger

Toppings

  • granola
  • coconut yogurt
  • fresh blueberries
  • chopped apricots
  • maple syrup (Pure Infused's Lavender Chai is a great way to enhance the chai flavour!)

Instructions

  1. In a high speed blender combine all ingredients (minus toppings) and blend on high until creamy and smooth.
  2. If the consistency isn't thick enough, place in a bowl and freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring often.

To Serve

  1. Scoop half of the banana chai smoothie into a bowl or glass. Top with 1/2 cup of granola, fresh blueberries, chopped apricots, a dollop of coconut yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

To make the chai tea ice cubes, bring 2 cups of water to a boil and brew with 4-6 chai tea bags. Chill for 1 hour. Transfer cold chai tea into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. Great for iced chai tea, just mix with vanilla soy or almond milk and a little sweetener (optional), shake and serve!
