Yesterday started with the happiest of all Thursday happys: A Chai (aka Christmas in a cup) smoothie.

A homemade, super simple, chai smoothie nonetheless.

I snagged Chocolate Covered Katie's recipe and strongly advise you do the same.

Here's her single serving recipe (per my simplifications):

1 frozen banana

1 cup almond milk

1/2 tsp powdered ginger

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

ice

And yes - that's it. Blend to smoothness of choice and voila! It really takes like a Chai frappe! I didn't believe it until I tried it, but now I'm a believer.

I got a little overzealous with the ginger and ended up with a slightly gingerbread flavored frappe, but, let's be serious: there are no complaints here on that one. It just made it that much Christmassyer.

Happy Friday Frapping!
