This Dairy-Free Gingerbread Smoothie is a festive, healthy alternative to other holiday calorie-packed beverages. Make it in just 5 minutes!

The holiday season turns me into a cookie monster! Everywhere I turn there are cookies and sweet treats: our office, holiday parties, ahhh! Give me aaaaall the cookies.

But seriously, I have little self control around dessert, so I make an effort not to keep any in the house during the holidays because there are enough temptations elsewhere.

That means, when I have a sugar craving or need something sweet after a meal, I have to get creative. That’s why I LOVE this Dairy-Free Gingerbread Smoothie! It’s deliciously creamy and it has the same flavor profile of your favorite gingerbread cookie recipe.

I use almond milk and a dairy-free protein powder to suit my dietary needs, but if you want to use regular milk, feel free! Don’t skimp on molasses or spices — that’s what makes this smoothie taste like gingerbread.

You can enjoy this Gingerbread Smoothie for breakfast, as a mid-day snack, or whenever a sweet craving strikes. Happy Holidays!

    I just heard about this new Almond Cashew Milk from Erin over at The Almond Eater! I love all of the fun recipes you can make with it. I’m in total agreement about keeping sweets out of this house during the holidays, but this seems like an exception 🙂
