Gingerbread Protein Shake Ingredients
- Oats: To make this gingerbread protein smoothie filling and give it a cozy taste that will remind you of a gingerbread cookie, we add oats.
- Yogurt: To make this gingerbread protein shake super creamy, we add a little bit of non-dairy yogurt. If you are not vegan, you can use regular plain unsweetened yogurt.
- Maple Syrup: Maple syrup is used to sweeten our vegan protein shake and give it a lovely gingerbread cookie taste.
- Banana: The frozen banana is what makes this vegan protein smoothie super filling and creamy.
- Vanilla Protein Powder: To make this a vegan gingerbread protein shake, we use vanilla flavored vegan protein powder. I used NUFYX plant-based protein powder made from peas. Get 15% off when you use my affiliate code, PBJILLY. If you aren't vegan, you can use any vanilla flavored protein powder.
- Vanilla: For more of that gingerbread cookie flavor.
- Milk: We use almond or oat milk in our creamy plant-based smoothie. If you aren't vegan, feel free to use regular milk.
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon gives this protein smoothie a warm sweetness.
- Ginger: Ground ginger is essential for this gingerbread protein shake.
- Nutmeg and Cloves: Optional, but add more of a spicy taste to this lightly sweet gingerbread smoothie.
