Hi Everyone!
So the story goes somethin’ like dis: Last week I was filming a quick recipe video for my Vanilla-Latte Chia Beauty Breakfast (which is served refreshingly cold right from the fridge) – when my sister nicely reminded me that unlike Southern California – most parts of the country are actually experiencing something called….. WINTER, and it’s Freaking cold!!
“Maybe, (she says with extra diplomacy)….. you should think about making a few warm, cozy breakfast recipes, too. Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that?
See the VIDEO. Let’s Make it Together!
The first flavor profile that came to mind – CHAI! Even better – Warm Chai flavored Overnight Oats with protein & fiber rich Chia Seeds (both of which are Radiance-Boosting foods, btw)…
Chai is….
Warm, spicy, cozy and complex – the word Chai is actually the Hindi word for “tea,” referring to a mix of spices steeped into something like a tea-like beverage. It’s a mixture of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, Cardamom, Cloves & Allspice.
Make your own CHAI SPICE MIX & keep it on hand!
Tastes like a treat – but it’s actually a healthy, Plant-Based breakfast or snack! Top with non-dairy topping & make it a dessert.
Enjoy your Plant-Based Vanilla-Chai 😉
