Prepare a strong shot of espresso using your preferred brewing method. Set aside.
In a blender, add the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, honey or maple syrup, and ice cubes.
Pour the steeped chai tea and the brewed espresso into the blender.
Blend all ingredients on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a little more honey or maple syrup.
Pour the High Protein Dirty Chai Latte into a large glass or mug.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your energizing, high-protein latte!
