When I created my free 30-Day PCOS Diet Challenge, I was hesitant to include any smoothie recipes as it’s hard to find good-tasting ones that work well within a PCOS diet. Over the last few months though I’ve made it my mission to create some new smoothie recipes that are perfect to enjoy as a PCOS snack or dessert, and won’t undo all your hard work!
This tasty smoothie is a filling snack, and with ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla, you know it’s going to be just as nice warmed up on a cold winter morning as it is served chilled, in the middle of summer.
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this PCOS-Friendly Nutty Chai Smoothie:
- Almond milk
- Cashew nuts
- Coconut butter
- Vanilla extract
- Ground Ceylon cinnamon
- Ground cardamom
- Ginger powder
- Banana
- Ice
- Salt
I hope you enjoy!

P.S. If you are struggling to make the switch to a PCOS diet, I run a free 30-Day PCOS Diet Challenge every quarter which is the perfect way to really kickstart your health transformation. This live event includes weekly meal plans, recipes, shopping lists, and video lessons, all within a supportive community environment. However, if this recipe has inspired you and you want to get started right away, then I recommend downloading my free 3-Day PCOS Diet Meal Plan as well. It’s a 15-page PDF ebook that contains some of my most popular PCOS recipes, a shopping list ready to go, and some additional information about how to use food to heal your PCOS.
Here’s a smoothie recipe for PCOS that can be enjoyed year-round.
