Servings: 1
Preparation Time: 25 minutes

• 2 chai tea bags
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk*
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1/2 banana, mashed
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon flaked or unsweetened, reduced fat coconut

Recipe: In a coffee or glass measuring cup, heat water and steep the tea bags for at least 5 minutes. The stronger the tea, the more the chai taste will come through.

In a small pot, heat the tea and milk over medium heat. Stir in oats, coconut extract, chia seeds and banana. Cook for approx. 20 minutes, or until desired consistency.

Pour into a bowl and sprinkle cinnamon and coconut on top.

* For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)
