Spiced Chai Tea Smoothie (Phase 1)
Description
Start the day right with this lightly spiced smoothie. The lean protein from the milk and tofu will help keep you satisfied all morning. Tip: Look for silken tofu in the refrigerated section of your market; if it's unavailable, substitute plain nonfat yogurt.
Ingredients
1⁄2 cup nonfat milk
1 chai tea bag
1⁄2 cup light silken tofu
1 tablespoon granular sugar substitute
1⁄4 teaspoon almond extract
1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
6–8 ice cubes
Ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Pour milk into glass measuring cup; warm in microwave for 1 minute. Add tea bag; let steep 10 minutes. Remove tea bag; refrigerate measuring cup for 5 minutes.
- In blender or food processor, combine milk mixture and tofu. Add sugar substitute, both extracts, and ice; process until ice is crushed and mixture is frothy. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve immediately.
