Tropical Chia Chai Smoothie

I have been experimenting with smoothies since doing a Clean 15 Diet that my gym put together.   One smoothie I became addicted too after Clean 15 was this Chai Almond smoothie.  I wanted to mix it up a bit so I put this together today.  I wasn't sure how I would like the Chai flavor combined with pineapple but it is surprisingly good!

Make this Chai Spice First and store in a airtight container.
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground allspice


Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla coconut milk
1/2 frozen banana (if you don't have one frozen, just add a little ice)
1/2 cup pineapple
2 tsp Chai Spice
1/2 tsp ginger 
1 tbsp raw honey
1 large handful of greens (I use spinach/baby kale mix)
1 tbsp chia seeds

Combine all ingredients in blender, blend until smooth.  Enjoy!  And with all smoothies, you can make homemade popsicles with any extra.
