This chai superfood smoothie tastes like a creamy chai latte! It’s filled with a hidden veggie, chai spices, almond butter, vanilla, hemp seeds, frozen banana, and dates! It makes a great breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert!
Raise your hand if you love chai! I’m definitely a chai lover, in all forms. I remember years ago having my first chai latte and being hooked. There’s something about the combination of spices and creaminess that is SO cozy.
I actually tend to make more chai flavored things, like these mimosas, scones, and energy bites! Oh and can’t forget about these donuts with homemade iced chai lattes!
To be honest, I didn’t even realize I had that many chai recipes on the blog! I do really love it.
This smoothie is so gosh darn good. It tastes like dessert and it has so much goodness in it! AND a hidden veggie..frozen cauliflower!
I was honestly a litttttle bit skeptical about the whole cauliflower and zucchini in smoothies trend when it first started, but I am always a fan of getting in extra veggies when I can, so I figured why not try it?
You honestly cannot taste a thing and it adds so much creaminess. Creaminess just like a frozen banana does. And we have both here. So it’s super extra creamy!
The other part of this smoothie that makes it superfood-y is the almond butter (yay for healthy fats!), hemp seeds (yay for more healthy fats and digestive benefits), cauliflower (yay for extra fiber and vitamin C), dates (they have lots of vitamins, minerals, and fiber), cinnamon (great for keeping stable blood sugar levels and it has lots of antioxidants too!, and last but not least, ginger (it’s super anti-inflammatory and also has antioxidants)!
So awesome, right?! I love when delicious things like this have so many benefits.
I’ve also refrigerated this and it keeps for a day or two in the fridge. I can’t tell you how many times I kept going in the fridge for sips.
All I want for breakfast now.

Recipe Notes
*I have kept half of the smoothie in the fridge in a sealed jar for up to two days, and it kept well!
I NEVER comment on internet recipes, but THIS, this recipe is incredible. You don’t taste the cauliflower at all! I didn’t have hemp seeds on hand, but I can imagine it would be even tastier with them added. Thank you for this recipe!! I am saving it for one of my go-to breakfasts.
Omg thank you SO much Cassie!! I appreciate that so much!! That really means a lot <3 I'm so happy you loved it!
This is such a good idea, and delicious. The frozen cauliflower makes the smoothie nice and thick, very filling.
Thank you so much Natalia! So happy you enjoyed! 🙂
I am a sucker for smoothies. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I will definitely try it in the days to come. I love the cinnamon taste, it boosts my mood every time I try it!
