In this article

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.
