If there's one thing every vegetarian knows, its that you have to be careful to make sure you get all the protein you need minus the meat. For many of us it becomes a daily battle between gritty protein shakes and fruit smoothies that just take darn near forever to make. Whats a veggie to do!
I love chai everything and if it were the only thing I had to drink from now till Kingdom Come I would be just fine with that. I got the idea to make chai protein lattes when I found this recipe, it inspired me to make an easy truly vegetarian recipe that I could just throw together and drink on the go, easy peasy!

Easy Peasy Iced Vanilla Chai Protein Latte
Say that ten times fast!
What you'll need is:
You will also need
- Pre-made chai tea bag (Bigelow brand is to die for!)
- Coconut Milk to taste
- Blue Agave Nectar (or sweetener of your choice) to taste
- Vanilla protein powder - half of one scoop
- Ice
- Vanilla ice cream or ice cream substitute (depending on how you feel about milk products)
You will also need
- A blender
- A one cup coffee maker (optional)
See? Easy as can be, tastes great, and is a good source of protein!
This is my favorite drink to throw together in a to-go cup on my way out the door. In the cold months you could even omit the ice and add whipped cream (or a non-dairy substitute for whipped cream) instead of the ice cream for a hot drink. :)
