Chai Sipper – Dairy Free and Sugar Free

Chai Sipper – a super easy, yummy drink – my version of “The Shrinker”. Dairy-free and sugar-free it’s a perfect sipper drink to enjoy throughout the day!

When I first started following Trim Healthy Mama four years ago, I began drinking their famous “Shrinker” sipper drink and loved it. Although the first time I made it, I put WAY too much cayenne in it. Quick lesson learned, start with a pinch of cayenne and build up to suit your taste.

Chai Sipper - Oolong and roobois tea with added cayenne and stevia. Dairy-free and Sugar-free

You can find the Original Shrinker Recipe on the Trim Healthy Mama’s website and facebook page. While the original recipe is easy to make, I wanted something even easier – like super easy!  The addition of a rooibos tea that is already spiced was the answer for me.

    Could the almond milk be replaced with coconut milk? I have a nut allergy.

      MaryBeth, the coconut milk would put too much fat in the drink for it to be a sipper. Perhaps you could use sunflower, sesame, or flax milk. I’m not sure if you can buy those or if you would have to make them. If you did use coconut milk you should drink it in a short amount of time and not let it be an all day sipper.
