  • Add all ingredients to blender.
  • Blend on high until smooth (about 1 minute).
  • Pour into glasses. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a cinnamon stick, if desired.

Notes

Variations and Substitutions:
    • Raspberries - you could use fresh raspberries instead of frozen ones.
    • Dairy-free/Vegan - you could replace regular milk with almond milk, soy milk, or another type of dairy-free milk and use a cultured coconut milk yogurt to replace Greek yogurt.
    • Molasses - you could use blackstrap molasses instead of light molasses, or dark corn syrup or maple syrup as a substitute for molasses.
    • Frozen Bananas: If you have frozen bananas you can drop them directly into the smoothie - they don't have to be defrosted.
Storage: Ideally, store this healthy gingerbread smoothie in the fridge in a sealed juice jug. I would not store it longer than a day, as the bananas tend to brown and the banana taste gets stronger.
Top Tip: Peel your bananas before you freeze them, rather than trying to peel a frozen banana or wait for it to thaw. It will save you lots of hassle and avoid minor frostbite!
Protein Boost - add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or high protein Greek yogurt to this gingerbread smoothie.
