Spicy Pumpkin Chai Delight

This smoothie is adapted from 31 Perfect Fitness Smoothies.  This is intended to be an energy booster, so a good morning or pre-workout smoothie.

I made this one for Atzin this morning and the ABC Smoothie for me and Rolando.  This turned out delicious and I think I will make it for him several times this week.  I was a bit skeptical about how the combination of spices would taste and whether it would be "too much."  But it was delicious and he gave it a thumbs up!

1 scoop of Vanilla protein powder
1 cup brewed chai tea
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1-2 TBS of agave or honey depending on desired sweetness
5-7 ice cubes.

This made a very generous serving.  His protein shake container was filled to rim.
