Chai tea is arguably the most comforting and aromatic hot beverage on the planet!
Did You Know ?
- The spices found in chai not only taste delicious, but they also help heat up the body, improve circulation, fight inflammation, and improve digestion
- Chai tea can be found at most coffee shops however the mixture is often pre-made and packed with sugar. Yuck!
Save your health and a few pennies and make your own. This recipe is very simple and most of the ingredients can be found in the bulk section at most grocery stores.
From her own previous experience of eating disorders, Melanie wants to change the relationship we have with our bodies and help nourish the community one avocado at a time. You can find Melanie at orendayogaandnutrition.com or follow her at instagram/melaniejaynebeech
