Immunity Boosting Turmeric Chai Latte
Superfood Chai Latte
I have been making this chai latte for months now, and it has brought me so much joy. It is my favorite warm beverage to whip up at home because it is absolutely delicious, comforting and ready in minutes. With all this time at home (currently writing during Quarantine 2020) it is very easy to overeat, but I have found warm beverages curb my appetite and leave me completely satisfied.
This chai latte has the traditional flavors you have come to enjoy such as cloves, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and nutmeg with added ingredients like dates for sweetness, superfood mushrooms for immunity, plus the anti inflammatory properties of blending turmeric with black pepper. Don’t fret if you don’t have the chai and mushroom powders on hand, I have added links below to my favorite blends. Drinking one of these lattes feels like having a nice warm meal. It’s truly an all star cast loaded with all sorts of health benefits, and of course tastes amazing!
- 2 cups any plant-based milk
- 4 pitted medjool dates
- 1 teaspoon masala chai blend
- 1 teaspoon mushroom powder
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- Black pepper, a good pinch
- First, gather your mise en place. (mi ˑ zɑ̃ ˑ plas)
- Next, place all your ingredients into your blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.
- Pour liquid into a small saucepan and heat through on med/high for 10 minutes.
- Divide into 2 mugs and enjoy with someone you love! If you are feeling fancy garnish with fresh nutmeg.
For added variety you can try blending in a banana or almond butter if you have them on hand.
And for another oh-so-satisfying warm beverage, try my Superfood Hot Cocoa!
Happy drinking 🙂
