We especially love getting creative in the kitchen at this time of the year to help get into the Christmas spirit, while also staying on track with our health and fitness goals. One of our favourite quick and easy festive recipes is this delicious Gingerbread Smoothie. It’s thick and creamy with a hint of sweet vanilla and subtle spices, making it a fantastic way to enjoy all the flavours of gingerbread without any of the added sugars and extra calories. Plus it’s dairy free, so anyone can enjoy it!
This recipe is a great way to put a festive twist on your usual smoothie recipes and an easy way to get in a healthy, protein-packed breakfast or snack. Plus, you’re getting the added benefits from our Ignite Pro plant-based thermogenic protein to nourish and strengthen your digestive health, boost energy levels and enhance fat burning throughout the day!
