This strawberry chai smoothie recipe is from my friend Lori at What Runs Lori. She’s a personal trainer and an expert in making nutrient-packed smoothies. She proclaimed this recipe “One of the best smoothies I’ve made thus far,” crediting the addition of some granola as the icing on the cake!

Notes
If you want to make this a little less smoothie and add a little more green, spinach would be the perfect green-of-choice to add in. This recipe is Vegan, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Gluten-Free, Peanut-Free, Wheat-Free, optionally Sugar-Free, optionally Soy-Free, and optionally Nut-Free. You can sub your favorite milk alternative for the almond milk (to make it nut-free), and choose your protein powder wisely if you want soy-free and sugar-free. There are many unsweetened hemp and brown rice protein powders on the market.
