Keto Chai Tea Latte

Enjoy an easy, delicious keto chai tea that has all the flavor of traditional chai tea minus all the carbs! It’s spicy, rich, low-carb, gluten-free, and sugar-free, and it’s made in minutes.

Make a masala chai easily with this keto chai latte recipe. It’s a delicious blend of fragrant spices, black tea, heavy cream, and sugar-free sweetener.

Need it to be dairy-free? No problem; simply substitute the heavy cream for almond or coconut milk. And if you are looking to make it a keto chai mix, just substitute the heavy cream for heavy cream powder for an instant option.

My recipe for keto masala chai is Goan style, and it’s a healthy way to give your body a boost of micronutrition courtesy of all the spices, with only. 2 net carbs; it’s virtually carb-free!

Keto Chai Latte

This chai tea is packed with good-for-you ingredients; for example, black tea is known to be a good source of antioxidants. The fact that it’s high in antioxidants means that it helps fight free radicals in your cells. This basically translates into less damage to your DNA and cells.

Black tea leaves are also high in both polyphenols and phytochemicals, which are scavengers for free radicals. There are health studies that even point to possible aid against metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and elevated cholesterol.

Who knew that enjoying keto chai tea could be so good for us?

Of course, if we want to see some of these benefits, we want to be certain that it’s not a chai latte that is loaded with sugar like those found in coffee houses all around.

Unfortunately, the damaging effects of sugar will outweigh any benefits of black tea.

It’s actually quite shocking to see the amount of sugar that is added to these drinks, with some being close to 50 grams of carbohydrates.

Thankfully, you can make a delicious cup of chai latte at home and stay safely in ketosis while you sip on your tea.

Wondering how you can add more micronutrients to your diet via spices? What if you can do so by having a delicious cup of keto chai latte? Well, that is exactly what my chai tea recipe will provide.

A few years ago I began to study the benefit of including an array of herbs and spices in our diet. One of the things I learned firsthand, was the power they had in curbing inflammation in the body. This is why finding ways to add my spices via a keto chai tea made lots of sense to me.

To make a homemade cup of healthy chai, you can either make your own blend like I listed in the recipe or use a premade powder like Organic Masala Chai powder.

I make mine with a little heavy cream. However, you can also make it with almond milk or full-fat coconut milk.

Another delicious option that further enhances the benefits of this tea is adding a scoop of collagen. By adding a little collagen, you are also adding protein to your chai, making it a great quick breakfast.

Best Sweeteners For Sugar-Free Chai 

As far as which sugar substitute to use for this sugar-free chai tea, I have a few recommendations. My favorite is, of course, Lakanto Monk Fruit.

Frankly, after I tried Lakanto, I was pleasantly surprised. This is because the texture of Lakanto is spot on and because there is barely any aftertaste.

If you are not familiar with their product, it is a blend of monk fruit and erythritol, and it’s delicious.

It’s also all-natural, and it gets its sweetness from antioxidants called mogrosides, instead of fructose or sucrose. And it has zero calories and zero glycemic impact. Winning!

That being said, I’m also partial to Swerve, another erythritol blend.  It works well in this chai recipe and is a great choice if you are looking for a sugar substitute that has no bitter aftertaste and measures just like sugar.

Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors. Like Lankanto, Swerve has a 0% impact on blood sugar.

I know some of you are Stevia fans. If that’s you, you can use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure in this recipe.

However, it’s important to note that if you are using Pyure, you will want to use 1/2 the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter option.

Lastly, if you cannot easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.

Goan Spice Properties

I’m always looking for creative ways to add a variety of spices to my food.  I’ve learned firsthand the benefits of these micronutrients as I continue to experiment.

In fact, my quest to explore new flavors is how I discovered the rich Goan spices. If you’re a fan of Indian spices, then trust me, you will love Goan spices.

Spices have powerful properties, and that’s why a little goes a long way. The following is a list of some of the possible benefits:

• Cinnamon- Can lower blood sugar, triglycerides, and LDL. By just adding one-fourth to one-half teaspoon of cinnamon twice a day, you can reap the benefits.
• Ginger-Helps with motion sickness and nausea; it may also relieve pain and help those with arthritis and inflammation. Studies have shown that a range of 500 to 2,000 mg of powdered ginger or a quarter-size piece of the fresh root, which contains about 1,000 mg is needed for benefits.
• Turmeric– Contains curcumin, a cancer-fighting compound. It’s known for its ability to reduce inflammation and improve joints. Curcumin is effective both in protecting against cancer and helping those that have it.
• Cayenne– Is known to have many health benefits. It has been shown to increase circulation and reduce the risk of heart problems. Red pepper, in all its forms, enhances the metabolism, increasing satiety and potentially stimulating fat burning, too.
• Cumin-Has antimicrobial properties and is great for keeping your gut healthy.
• Anise-Is great for calming an upset stomach and, when you have a cold, helps with coughs and runny noses. It has estrogen-like properties and may increase milk flow in breastfeeding mothers.
• Cloves– May help with muscle pain and arthritis. Of all spices, it contains the most antioxidants. It contains eugenol, which has a mild anesthetic benefit. Useful for toothaches, gum pain, and sore throat anise is just overall great for you. It may even help with respiratory ailments such as asthma and bronchitis. Studies also show it can help eliminate intestinal parasites, fungi, and bacteria.
• Nutmeg-Contains many plant-derived chemical compounds that are known to be anti-oxidant and disease-preventing. It has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-fungal and anti-depressant properties.
• Cardamom-Has been known to be antiseptic and antispasmodic. Has digestive properties and can act as a diuretic. It is a good source of minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
