I got a bag of the plenny shake active chai latte a few months ago and damn(!) was I disappointed!
What a taste. Has almost nothing to do with a proper chai latte… maybe except for the cinnamon in there.
Ordered a bag for my friend as well with mine, he has the same reaction to it.
I don’t want it to go to waste, but I really don’t like it “straight”.
Do you have any ideas what i can mix it with to save the flavour? Or use it in other stuff?
I’m in the same situation, my chai latte powder came two days ago and I didn’t like it the first day just mixed with water. Yesterday I mixed it with ice milk, and today with coffee powder (50/50). Nothing worked, it even masked the coffee flavour. I’ll try more combinations because, as you, I don’t want to waste it.
I, on the other hand, like the chai latte favour. To me it tastes like chai latte, maybe you have been exposed to better chai lattes than I have. It’s not one I would have often as a meal though as it is too sweet for that, but I’ll happily drink it now and then as a dessert course when I’m having 2 shakes for lunch.
So to answer your question, I don’t l know… dare I suggest adding some instant chai latte powder from the supermarket? or will that just add to the evidence against me that I don’t really know what a proper chai latte should taste like?
Hahah oh Dave.
I volunteer as a part time barista where I have tasted quite a few different chai lattes so I would like to say I know my chai lattes by now And sadly this is in the very low spectrum.
At first I was honestly in doubt if I got a faulty batch.
Since it has the caffeine I thought of it more as a morning shake, but can of course be used through the day!
I actually haven’t thought about something so simple. I didn’t know if it could overpower the flavour, but I’ll give it a try
I quite it as well! I usually use some vegan milk and add some extra cinnamon (sometimes even some honey) and then I have a super sweet kickstart or afternoon pick me up. If you really can’t stomach it though, please email us at love@jimmyjoy.com so we can reimburse you for the bag!
Well, it’s weird but I found a way to make the shake tastier. I mixed the water with liquid yoghourt. Of course it totally unbalaces the nutritional values and calories, so you must recalculate it, but the point is that now I kinda like drinking it. Not an ideal solution and of course I removed the chai latte from my suscriptions, but it’s the best way I found to make it tasty and avoid wasting the powder.
I was not a fan of how the Chai latte tasted either, texture was fine tho.
Not happy with the Chocolate shake as well.
But mixing them 50/50 made a huge difference.
My new favorite shake., it has a nice texture and a taste that suits me.
Give it a try.
