Healthy Holiday Gingerbread Smoothie
There’s no other flavour and scent that says the holidays to me more than gingerbread!
I love the smell of gingerbread baking while my girls and I patiently wait with the excited anticipation of decorating the cookies and creating a magical gingerbread world.
I love enjoying my favourite chewy ginger molasses cookies with a cup of tea on a lazy holiday afternoon as the snow falls outside.
So when I discovered this healthy holiday gingerbread smoothie, I just had to give it a try!
It blends all the delicious spices and a touch of sweetness together to satisfy the gingerbread flavour I love so much, plus it is packed with amazing nutrients - collagen, fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, anti-inflammatory spices, antioxidants, potassium, and probiotics.
