Spiced Chai Tea Smoothie (Phase 1)

Makes 1 serving

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


  1. 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.
  2. 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.
