I can't get enough of this smoothie! It makes me very happy. I feel like I am treating myself, but it's so good for you that I don't need to feel guilty about eating it! It really does taste like your drinking a frozen chai drink...almost like a Chai Frappuccino. Yum!

Spice Blend
2 tsp ground cardamom
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground black pepper

1/3 cup almond milk
1 frozen banana
1 heaping spoonful of almond butter
1 tsp chai spice
1 tbsp ground flax seed
