Instructions

Add the chilled brewed chai to a high-speed blender.
Add the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes and fine sea salt.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35 to 50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the consistency and blend in 1 to 2 tablespoons additional chai if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for creaminess and texture; instant oats may make the smoothie too mushy. Brew the chai strong and cool it completely before blending to avoid watering down the flavor.
