Vanilla Chai Smoothie


This is a great allergy-friendly smoothie for a postworkout snack or small meal. The xylitol option is a great breakfast for those with diabetes or anyone trying not to spike blood sugar too early in the morning.

Ingredients
1 scoop or serving vanilla rice or whey protein powder
1 Tablespoon cashew butter or tahini
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (non-alcohol based if possible)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon allspice
Xylitol, honey or agave to taste (~ 2 teaspoons)
3-5 ice cubes
6 oz water

Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth with no chunks. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.
