Gingerbread Smoothie: Let your taste buds sparkle with this Dessert Thickie

Gingerbread Smoothie: Let your taste buds sparkle with this dessert thickie

This Gingerbread Smoothie can also be easily turned into a complete meal replacement if you include the optional extra healthy fillers such as oats. You can turn this recipe into a green smoothie by including the optional leafy greens in this recipe.

If you love gingerbread, you will adore this healthy gingerbread smoothie dessert version of this classic.  I didn’t expect my baby to like such a powerful ginger taste, but she wolfed it down too.  Not only does ginger support a healthy immune system, there is something irresistible about it when combined with these other healthy ingredients.

This is the fourth of my ‘dessert thickie’ series. Click here to see all the dessert smoothies.  These are healthy smoothies that taste like popular desserts with added fillers to turn them into a complete meal.  These dessert smoothies will get rid of any cravings for biscuits but fill you up until your next meal.  Add some sparkle to your diet!

Are you struggling to lose weight and keep it off?

Are you feeling run down and are struggling with ever increasing health problems?

Green Thickies new 7 Day Detox will help you drop a dress size, improve your skin, your energy will soar and you are going to be so in control and proud of yourself.

You won't go hungry on this diet ... And better yet - it actually requires minimal time in the kitchen.

Get results like this...Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie

    Hey! I just made this smoothie for my post-workout meal/lunch. I have been trying to incorporate more blackstrap molasses into my diet because it’s high in iron so this looked like a good option. The only thing I did differently was add in a big handful of spinach (it was lunch after all). This was so good! Just like a cookie :) I think I’ll be making this one pretty often!

      Hi Gabby. Thanks so much for trying this recipe. I’m so glad you liked it. I love molasses too but I include more dates as sweeteners as I think people will find them more easily. In the UK we have to go to a health food shop to buy blackstrap molasses. When I was pregnant I ate it every day with stewed fruit to keep my iron up. I also add greens to my dessert thickies. I make them every weekend and add greens to mine and my baby’s and my husband gets the original recipe as a weekend treat. I just feel so much better when I include the greens, I was really noticing it when I didn’t drink them as I’ve drunk green smoothies every day for a few years now. So now I take photos of a green and a beige version so people have the option.

    Katherine,

    I love the idea of a ginger smoothie! I am on GAPS, so I will have to wait to try your exact recipe. In the meantime, I might have to tinker around and try a GAPS version of this. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I could really use a suggestion on what to substitute for the banana. I’m incredibly allergic to bananas…and many smoothies seem to call for them as a thickener. I love to drink smoothies, but have no idea what to substitute in place of the banana! Thanks!

      Hi Sarah. You can use either mango, peaches or avocado. If you’re interested in banana free smoothies I have a collection of 28 here: https://www.greenthickies.com/smoothies-without-bananas

    I have been loving trying every recipe of green thickie on your site, but I couldn’t get my husband even to try one. Finally after he got home from a work trip (where he ate only junk and massive amounts of sushi) he let me make him a smoothie. I made the Key Lime Pie one (my favorite) and he grimaced when he took his first taste. He has actually had real Key Lime Pie and I think the name might have led him to believe it would be like a pie milkshake. Anyway, not going to waste limes on him. So then I tried this Gingerbread one and he liked it! He said it was good. He took the other half to work with him. Yes! I am so grateful that you have all these recipes that taste so good. This morning my husband took another smoothie with him to work instead of a coke. That is a victory!
