Aren’t these gingerbread men the cutest? I love food that’s both charming and delicious. The warming trio of ginger, cinnamon and molasses is a holiday favorite — comforting to the belly and filling the house with a festive scent.
But what if you could sip your favorite holiday cookie? This Clean Eating Gingerbread Smoothie captures that familiar taste while boosting nutrition. Banana, almond milk and almond butter create a creamy base; maple syrup and blackstrap molasses add depth and sweetness; cinnamon and ginger bring the classic spice. Fresh ginger contributes antioxidants and can help support a healthy immune system.
With this smoothie, gingerbread becomes an acceptable breakfast — or anytime treat.
