Dairy free / Vegan / Gluten free

JUMP TO RECIPE

Craving gingerbread but want to enjoy it guilt free? This Gingerbread Smoothie has all the delicious, spiced flavors of gingerbread but made with healthy ingredients. This gingerbread smoothie recipe is dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan and has over 10 grams of plant protein. It’s thick and creamy made with banana, unsweetened yogurt, 100% pure peanut powder, milled flax seed, molasses and spices and a few dates to help naturally sweeten it. My recipe makes approximately 14 ounces. For some extra flavor and protein, garnish with crushed gingersnap cookies and a peanut butter gingerbread man.

Is molasses healthy for you?

Do your research and you will find lots of healthy benefits to consuming molasses!

Blackstrap molasses is considered the healthiest variety of molasses and promotes healthy, skin and hair, healthy bones, stabilizes blood sugar, has antioxidants and also aids in menstrual relief, digestion and sleep (to name a few!)

Molasses contains 20% daily value of iron and also has calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B6 and more. Who knew??

Let’s begin!

Ingredients:

• 1 large banana

• 3 large dates, pitted

• 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almondmilk yogurt alternative

• 2 tbsp 100%pure peanut powder

• 1 tbsp blackstrap molasses

• 1 tbsp milled flax seeds

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp ground ginger

• 1/8 tsp ground allspice

• 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Instructions:

Add ingredients, in order, to a smoothie cup and blend using smoothie setting.

Alternatively, add all ingredients to a blender in reverse order and pulse a few times, then blend on high for at least one minute, or until smooth.

Pour into serving glass and sprinkle with crushed ginger snaps and a peanut butter gingerbread man if desired.

I can’t think of another more appropriate smoothie for the holidays…and the peanut butter gingerbread man will be smiling the whole way down to the bottom of the glass! (He adds some delicious protein.)

Notes

NOTE: I am lactose intolerant, that is why I choose to create a dairy-free version, but if you would like to use real dairy ingredients you can (equal substitution amounts.)

NOTE: For even more protein, substitute the peanut powder for your favorite vanilla protein powder.
