These smoothies instantly bring Christmas vibes with their flavors and are healthy too, so you can enjoy them anytime!
1. The Plum & Ginger Wonder
Plum and ginger are classic winter flavors you love in tea and can also enjoy in a smoothie. Just toss these ingredients into your blender, then serve with a sprinkle of white chocolate shavings on top for a delicious treat.
- Two large or three small plums,
- one banana,
- three tablespoons of yogurt (Greek yogurt works best),
- ginger powder or two teaspoons of freshly grated ginger.
2. Cinnamon Dream Smoothie
This smoothie is a healthier alternative to cinnamon pastries but just as cozy. It’s perfect for breakfast, packed with fruit and complex carbs to fuel your chilly mornings.
- Two bananas,
- half a tablespoon of cinnamon,
- one teaspoon of peanut butter (or cashew butter),
- a handful of ice,
- three tablespoons of oats,
- 5 ml water.
3. Apple Pie in a Glass
Apple pie is a beloved Christmas dessert, but it’s not the healthiest. This smoothie lets you relive those flavors while doing your body a favor.
- One apple,
- ¼ avocado,
- 5 ml water,
- one tablespoon cinnamon,
- a handful of ice,
- half a banana,
- two tablespoons oats.
4. You Can Never Have Enough Chocolate
No matter how healthy I try to eat, I never give up chocolate. This smoothie is a guilt-free substitute you can enjoy anytime—unlike eating a whole chocolate bar. Though I do indulge in that sometimes too, because hey, life’s short!
- Two bananas,
- two tablespoons black cocoa powder,
- 5 ml almond milk,
- two tablespoons shredded coconut,
- a handful of ice.
The Gingerbread Smoothie
Gingerbread is a Christmas staple, and if you’ve already enjoyed a few cookies, I warmly recommend this smoothie. It’s drinkable, not edible, but just as delicious as its namesake.
- 1.5 frozen bananas,
- one teaspoon grated ginger,
- three tablespoons Greek yogurt,
- 200 ml soy milk,
- half a serving of vanilla protein powder (available in single-serve packets),
- one tablespoon flaxseed meal (or any seed-based flour),
- half a teaspoon cinnamon,
- one tablespoon sweetener,
- topped with honey muesli or granola.
