1. Masala Chai

Spicy and sweet, this creamy Masala Chai has just the right amount of bite. It’s also easy to make and way better than most (if not all) store-bought chai mixes. Want to save time? Portion out the spices ahead of time to make it easier to whip up. Give it a try!

This warm and comforting soup is made with carrots, celery, onion, garlic, tomatoes, lentils and spices. Having guests over? This soup makes enough for multiple bowls.
