Ingredients

There's no actual tea in this smoothie, but the warm spices will fill your senses like a good cup of chai. By soaking and pureeing cashews, you're essentially creating something like a thick cashew milk, sweetened lightly by a few dates.
1/2 cup unsalted cashews
1 3/4 cups water
1/3 cup pitted dates
1 tsp. cinnamon
Pinch of pepper
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cardamom
Hot or Cold Chai Smoothie

Directions

1. Soak the cashews in the water (30 minutes - 24 hours). The longer they soak, the smoother they'll puree.
2. Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
3. Refrigerate to chill (30 minutes) or heat in the microwave (1 minute) to achieve your preferred temperature.
