This Vanilla Chai Protein Smoothie is the creamy, spiced, high protein drink you are going to want to make every single day. It comes together in minutes, tastes like a chai latte in smoothie form, and is packed with enough protein to keep you full and satisfied whether you are having it for breakfast, as a midday snack, or a quick lunch on the go.
The warm chai spices make it feel indulgent and cozy while still being a healthy, nourishing choice you can feel good about.
The best part is how easy this recipe is. There are no complicated steps, no special equipment, just a blender and a few simple ingredients.
It is naturally dairy free, incredibly creamy, and works perfectly as a breakfast shake, a post workout protein drink, or an afternoon pick me up when you need something refreshing and satisfying.
Once you try this vanilla chai protein smoothie you will wonder how it was never part of your routine sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! This recipe is very easy to customize to your taste. If you love a bold, spiced chai flavor you can add a little extra of the spices or cinnamon. If you prefer a milder, more subtle spice level simply start with less and adjust from there. Either way this smoothie is delicious and the spice level is completely up to you.
Ultimately any vanilla protein powder will work. My favorite protein powder is Sunwarrior Warrior Blend in Vanilla. Using this protein powder gives you a dairy free smoothie.
