Chocolate Chai Recovery Milkshake

chocolate chai shake

Have you noticed my chocolate chai kick lately? I went through a box of Tazo’s new chocolate chai tea latte concentrate, and dang was it good.Last weekend I went on a great run (it was only great because I kept going despite all the crappy weather/pain/allergies/etc.) in some blustery pollen-filled weather. When I got back, I was overdue for lunch, feeling proud, and desperately in need of a cold and refreshing recovery drink.

I decided to splurge a bit and make myself a recovery milkshake. Yum.

Into my blender went my chocolate chai concentrate, soy vanilla ice cream, vanilla almond milk, and vanilla protein powder.

Holy. crap. It was so good! I was a little ice cream happy with that one, so I obviously had to make one the very next day that was a little lightened up. Both ways are fantastic. One is more of a legit recovery drink, and one’s just dessert.

legit recovery drink:
serves 1
1 C ice
1/2 C chocolate chai tea latte concentrate
1/2 C unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder

actually just a milkshake:
serves 1
1 C soy vanilla ice cream
1/2 C chocolate chai tea latte concentrate
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
optional: splash of unsweetened vanilla almond milk if you need it to get the right consistency

Blend everything together!
