A combination between an Iced Chai and your morning smoothie, this drink is as delicious as it is stunning, move over Starbucks Pink Drink, here’s Prana’s Blue Sky Iced Chai.
As well as being tasty, it has the added benefits of coconut yogurt which provides a good source of healthy fats and probiotics good for your gut. And Spirulina, a type of algae that supposedly has health benefits out the wazoo (think antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, reducing blood pressure, blood sugar, and ‘bad’ cholesterol levels).
Our friend Nicole Battefeld-Montgomery created this recipe as a seasonal special idea for cafe owners to incorporate in their summer menu. As she mentions, seasonal menu items are a great way to market to new customers, especially when they are as colourful and fun as this one.
Ingredients you’ll need to try it yourself:
- 50ml of Hot Water
- 20g of Prana Chai
- 150ml Oat Milk
- A spoonful of Coconut Yogurt
