This Gingerbread smoothie bowl recipe features everything you need to enjoy the season and fuel up with a boost of protein and nutrients. Spice up your day!
Pumpkin is extremely high in beta-carotene, which converts to Vitamin A in the body, and helps to protect your peepers and aids in healthy skin cell production. The addition of cinnamon adds a warming effect and also helps to stabilize blood sugars levels in the body, not to mention, it smells and tastes just how the season is supposed to! In addition, this plant-powered smoothie recipe is high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and free of refined sugars, dairy, and gluten--what's not to love?!
What is Protein Powder Good For?
Gingerbread Warrior Blend puts the fun in functional ingredients. Packed with essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids from Pea, Hemp, and Goji Berry, this blend supports muscle growth, recovery, and overall wellness without the sugar rush. And it's versatile. Blend it into a festive smoothie, bake it into merry treats, or simply mix it with your favorite nut milk for a yuletide protein boost that is delicious. You know the old saying that you can’t catch the gingerbread man? That’s what all your workout buddies will be saying about you as you leave the competition in the dust.
