The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian I've been enjoying this raw chai smoothie often over the past few weeks as a dessert, almost as a replacement for a sweet coffee or hot cocoa after dinner.
If you have cardamom in your spice cupboard, it really adds an interesting, surprising chai-esque taste. But if you don't have it, no worries - you can omit it and just use the cinnamon.
I don't often add coconut to my smoothies, but it provides added richness, which is nice and turns it into more of a dessert smoothie. (If you can't do coconut, feel free to omit and cut the water down a little to compensate.)

How much Chai do you add to the raw banana chai smoothie?

Hi Gwen,
None! You are making your own chai spice out of the spices called for in the ingredients :)
