Protein Chai Latte
This has long been my favorite morning drink ever since giving up caffeine several years ago. I needed something that replaced that morning ritual of making coffee, but also had body the way that coffee does. Plain tea just doesn’t cut it in the morning for me (too watery) - and I have heard similar feedback from many folks. You can also use the LMNT Chocolate Salt instead of the cacao and maple syrup in this recipe, it’s delicious!
