Last week one of my wonderful greenie friends, Tiffany from NatureMom.com made a request for a gingerbread smoothie recipe. Of course, I took up the challenge. I wasn’t sure how it would taste or even look for that matter. I tried a few batches, and I think I came up with a nice gingerbread cookie in a glass. By all means, it doesn’t taste exactly like a cookie, but festive nonetheless. I mean, even my cinnamon, all spice hating husband thought it was pretty tasty! That has to be worth something. No?
Give it a whirl and let me know if you are thinking of a gingerbread cookie while sipping away!
And just to be clear, no gingerbread men were harmed in the making of this smoothie.
Gingerbread Cookie Smoothie
Yields: 1 cup
- 1 cup of almond milk
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 Tbsp of molasses
- 1 tsp of cinnamon, or more to taste
- 1 tsp of all spice, or more to taste
- 1/2 tsp of ground ginger, or more to taste
- 1 Tbsp of vanilla flavor
- Blend all the ingredients together in your blender, I used my Blendtec.
- Pour into a glass and drink. Done.
For the spices, go with what your taste buds are telling you. I tend to go overboard on the cinnamon.

Thanks, Laura!
Looks amazing, thanks for sharing your recipe!
Let me know if you try it!
That looks so good! The best thing is that it safe to eat because it is gluten free. I cannot wait to try it!
A lot of my recipes by default are gluten-free not necessarily on purpose, I just like raw foods! I do try to avoid gluten though.
