So, if you know me even the slightest bit, you should know that I have an undying love for tea, especially Starbucks Chai Tea Lattes with skim, of course (hot and iced).Tea is so amazing for your mind and body. It's natural and it gives me a caffeine hit that comes on over time and lasts longer than the caffeine rush I used to get from coffee.
Plus, it's super healthy for you. If you can't tell, I'm a huge proponent of this stuff...it's delicious!
Well, I was paroozing the aisles of the nearby Safeway and spotted, out of the corner of my eye, this 32 oz purple and yellow piece of heaven. I grabbed it off the shelf and began reading the label: Oregon Chai, The Original - Hot or iced, morning or evening, summer or winter — nourish your yin and elevate your yang with this creamy blend of tea, spice and spirit. [insert chorus...ahhhh]
I couldn't wait to try this out just to see if it would even compare to my precious Starbucks. When I got home I poured half of the concentrate with half milk, dumped some ice in the glass, mixed and...AMAZING. I swear, this mixture tastes just like my favorite Starbucks drink but better because I can have it whenever I want (I don't live near a Starbucks...I know, I can't believe it either). Plus, it's super cheap. A 32 oz carton will run you less than $6 and will make about 7 glasses.
The best part is that a single serving (1/2 cup of the concentrate) has only 90 calories, o g of fat, o g of cholesterol, 30 mg of sodium, 22 g of carbs and o g of protein. Yum!
It's like they say...nirvana, now available by the cup. Check it out and see for yourself!
