Confused? Here are some frequently asked questions:
1. What is chai powder made of?
This particular chai blend from Chamberlain contains oats, cane sugar, black tea, vanilla, and cinnamon.
2. Does chai powder have caffeine?
Yes, though it contains less caffeine than coffee. For context, 1 cup of coffee contains 80-120mg of caffeine, 1 cup of matcha contains 60-70mg of caffeine, and chai powder contains 25-55mg caffeine. The caffeine in chai and matcha is preferred to coffee because it comes on slower and gentler than coffee which can be too aggressive on your body.
3. How much protein is in this smoothie?
This recipe makes 2 portions – each portion contains 24 grams of protein without the granola. Add the granola of your choice if you’d like additional protein.
