Maple-Mango-Banana Chai Smoothie Bowl

(Serves 1)

Ingredients:

½ large frozen banana, sliced

½ cup frozen mango

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp nut butter (almond or your fav)

1 cup non-dairy milk (almond, cashew, coconut, pea, etc.)

½ tsp of the chai spice blend (recipe below)

(Optional: toppings of your choice – coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, berries, etc.)


Directions:


1. Mix all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until combined. You might have to scrape the sides or use the plunger, as this will be thick.

2. Remove from blender into a bowl, add toppings and enjoy immediately!


Chai spice blend (this makes more than is needed in the recipe above!)

4 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp ground cloves

6 tsp ground ginger


Directions:

Are you a fan of chai this time of year? To me it says Autumn as much as a cup of pumpkin-anything. ;-)
