For the chai, there's no reason to get too fancy. Just brew your favorite chai tea, or use a chai tea concentrate, add your favorite dairy-free milk beverage, as desired, and sweeten to taste, if you wish. The banana and protein powder typically provide sweetness, so you don't necessarily need it sweetened. You can use chai black tea or herbal chai, for caffeine free).
