You’re not truly ready for Christmas until you’ve had something gingerbread-flavored — and this Gingerbread Shake might just be my favorite version yet. It’s cozy, festive, naturally sweet, and somehow manages to feel indulgent and nourishing at the same time.


Let’s be honest: this time of year is basically a carousel of pies, breads, cookies, and wine (plural, always plural). And listen — I love all of that. But sometimes you want a holiday treat that still makes you feel good afterward. Something you can sip on in the morning, post-workout, or during that weird mid-afternoon lull when the Christmas cravings hit hard.


This Gingerbread Shake checks every box. It’s thick, creamy, perfectly spiced, and packed with ingredients that support your body while still tasting like a holiday dessert.

Gingerbread Shake Recipe


Ingredients

• 2 frozen bananas

• 1 ¼ cups milk (any milk works)

• 1 tbsp cashew butter

• ½ tsp ground ginger

• ¼ tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp molasses

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder


How to Make Them:


STEP 1: Freeze your bananasThis is absolutely key. Frozen bananas give you that thick, creamy smoothie texture. Skip this step and you’ll end up with something runny — and honestly, just not it.


STEP 2: Blend everything togetherAdd all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed.


STEP 3: Garnish (optional, but encouraged)Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, and if you’re feeling extra festive, add a cinnamon stick.


STEP 4: Sip & enjoyCozy, creamy, and full of gingerbread goodness.
