As soon as October rolls around, I can’t help but start craving chai drinks. There’s something so comforting and nostalgic about chai’s warm spices—cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves—especially when the air gets a little crisper. And while I love a classic chai latte, this Chocolate Chai Collagen Smoothie is my new favorite way to enjoy those fall flavors while sneaking in some serious health benefits!
This smoothie is the perfect mix of cozy and refreshing. The chilled brewed chai tea brings all the fall vibes, and when you blend it with the Super Youth Chocolate collagen, it gives the whole thing a creamy, chocolatey twist that tastes like a treat. The best part? It’s packed with nutrients that will make you feel as good as it tastes.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Not only is this smoothie super delicious, but it’s also a great way to get a nutritional boost. The banana adds natural sweetness and potassium, while the rolled oats give you a nice fiber kick to keep you full longer. And, of course, we can’t forget about the Super Youth Chocolate —it helps support healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints, so you’re treating your body from the inside out.
And if you’re like me and like a little extra sweetness, adding a touch of honey makes it even more indulgent, without being overly sugary.
Health Benefits You Can’t Ignore
- Collagen helps boost skin elasticity, joint health, and hair strength.
- Bananas provide potassium and natural energy.
- Chai tea is packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties from spices like cinnamon.
- Oats offer heart-healthy fiber to keep you satisfied and energized throughout the day.
How to Make It
This recipe is super easy to whip up, too. Just brew and chill some chai tea in advance, and you’re halfway there! Blend it with a ripe banana, oats, a scoop of Super Youth Chocolate, and a dash of cinnamon. For that perfect smoothie consistency, add some ice cubes and blend until smooth. If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with banana slices and strawberries for a pop of color and extra flavor!
Take it with you on the go or savor it at home—either way, this Chocolate Chai Collagen Smoothie is the perfect way to cozy up to fall while treating your body right. Enjoy!
