Gingerbread Protein Smoothie
I’m a bit of a cookie monster especially around the holidays so I wanted to try to create a smoothie that tasted just like gingerbread and would satisfy my sweet tooth. This smoothie is packed full of healthy ingredients like spinach, almond milk, vanilla protein, banana, molasses, and almond butter. It contains fibre, vitamin A/C/E/K, calcium, magnesium, protein, greens and healthy fat. Black strap molasses is also very nutritious and can help combat stress, promotes healthy skin and it adds a ton of flavour to this shake.
