Normally, I avoid smoothies the minute that summer warmth is left behind. And even if I do have one in the fall or winter, it usually isn't when there's snow on the ground. But alas, there I sat with a cold, blended substance in front of me and a white, fluffy substanc behind me. I guess I broke my own rule, but this smoothie was so good that I didn't even realize the single digit weather outside.
Gingerbread Smoothie
This smoothie is pretty spice due to the ground ginger. If you prefer your gingerbread only mildly spiced, feel free to scale back on the spices.
