This is a great way to use tea if you have steeped it too long, which is something that I often do. Spiced masala chai compliments bananas quite well, and is similar to a pumpkin pie, except with banana and not pumpkin.

Like a lot of smoothies, this recipe can be prepared in no time, and is great for a breakfast on the go, or as a snack.

2 cups strong masala chai

1 ripe banana

¼ cup oatmeal

sugar to taste (or substitute with dates)

Blend all ingredients until smooth. When you open the blender lid, you will inhale the beautiful masala scent and will want to sip on this all day.
