Banana Chai Smoothie

This is one of my Summer heat saviors, to the point of keeping a quart of freshly brewed Chai in the fridge, and ripe cut up bananas in the freezer which makes whipping this baby up a breeze.


Banana Chai Smoothie:
1 cup water
2 Chai tea bags
1 cup milk
2 frozen bananas, cut into chunks
Pinch of Cinnamon
5 ice cubes

Preparation:
Pour boiling water into tea cup and add tea, let steep for 3 to 5 minutes, until the tea is strongly brewed. Squeeze out the tea bag before you throw it away keeping in mind the bags will be very hot.

Pour the tea into the blender, adding the milk, bananas, and cinnamon. Puree until smooth, then adding the ice cubes and blend until the ice is nicely crushed.

Pour into your glass, topping with fat free whipped cream and a nice dash of cinnamon if you'd like.

Enjoy!
