Recently, Friday mornings have become my smoothie mornings. After a solid week of workouts, I love whipping up a thick and creamy smoothie to celebrate the last day of the work week and ease into the weekend.
Last week, I was craving something new. As I was brainstorming flavors, eyes scanning everything I had in the pantry, I zoomed in on the batch of gingerbread granola I was somehow still making my way through. "Hmmm... whatever smoothie I make," I decided, "I'm definitely sprinkling some of that gingerbread granola magic on top."
What better smoothie to go with gingerbread granola than a gingerbread smoothie! Double the gingerbread goodness!
I immediately set to work pulling out everything I needed to whip up the perfect gingerbread spice: molasses, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves. Then I got out all the perfect smoothie making ingredients: frozen banana, almond milk, protein powder.
A few whirls in the blender, and I was in business.
This gluten free and vegan smoothie came out better than I could have imagined. I know some of you are anti-smoothies in cold weather, but one, it's still warm here in Austin (not like the cold weather would deter) and two, I bet this wintery, holiday spiced smoothie will change your mind.
