Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (60 grams)
- 2 gram scoops Cellucor Cinnamon Swirl whey protein
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (1/2 oz)
- 2 tea bags spiced chai
- 1/4 tsp each: cinnamon and ground ginger
- 1 dash each: nutmeg and cloves
Optional Coconut Whipped Cream
- 1/4 cup coconut milk solids (see note below for directions)
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 dash cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat water in small pan (or in microwave-safe dish) until almost boiling. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Brew for 5-6 minutes, then remove bags, squeezing any extra water from them before discarding.
- Add almond milk, pumpkin puree, whey protein, maple syrup, and spices to a blender or shaker and shake/blend until smooth. Pour mixture into chai tea, whisking continuously, and return to medium heat.
- If making the coconut whipped cream: While pumpkin chai latte is heating, whisk together coconut whipped cream ingredients and set aside in refrigerator until ready to use.
- Once pumpkin chai latte reaches desired temperature, pour into two serving mugs. If any clumps developed while heating, pour through a strainer into the serving mugs (this shouldn't happen if you blended it well first).
- Spoon coconut whipped cream on top of latte, if desired. Sprinkle with cinnamon and/or nutmeg before serving.
Notes
- The coconut whipped cream is not included in the nutrition info in case you prefer to use a dairy-based whipped cream. To get the coconut milk solids the recipe calls for, refrigerate a can of full fat coconut milk overnight (Thai Kitchen Organic works really well). When ready to use, turn the can upside down and open from the bottom. Pour off the clear-ish liquid and you'll be left with coconut milk solids.
