Frozen Chai Smoothie:
2 oz. Monin Chai Tea Concentrate
4 oz. cold milk or milk substitute
2 cups of ice
Whipped Cream
Pour Monin Chai Concentrate and milk into blender, add ice and blend until smooth.
Pour into glass and top with whipped cream.
I enjoy these but I use soy milk instead and no whip cream. Its good for you and has an interesting spicy taste to it. It should come out white in the end which is interesting because the chai tea is black.

healthy without working too hard. Thank you all for the help, I need it and appreciate it!
here are some other things to use:
1. Fruit as the 'base' - bananas, strawberries, pineapples, kiwis are good. Blueberries are OK, but the skin will be similar to pulp in orange juice so don't use them if you want it really smooth
2. A liquid to help things blend. Try milk, fruit juice (apple juice is nice because it wont overpower the other flavors) or just water .
3. A thickener. Something like yogurt, ice cream, frozen fruit, or ice cubes.
A good rule of thumb for measurements is 1 part fruit, 1 part liquid, and 2 parts thickener. So for a 1 cup smoothie, you would use 1/4 cup fruit, 1/4 cup liquid and 1/2 cup thickener.
If you use ice cubes, make sure you get a blender that can chop them, otherwise go with the yogurt to make a good consistency

I just bought a whole bunch of smoothie ingredients last week. This is what I use:
concentrated OJ
plain yogurt
milk
frozen fruits (blueberry, blackberry, mixed berries, mango, raspberry, etc)
bananas
I have a nice blender. That helps a lot. I like the frozen berries vs real berries because it makes the drink nice and cold without adding additional ice and the frozen berries are typically much less expensive.
