Warm Spice Smoothie

When it’s cold outside and you want to warm up your insides, a frozen smoothie just won’t do the trick. You can still have all the components of a healthy shake but the warmth and nourishment of comfort food by creating “hot” smoothies. Use the recipe below as a base and switch up spices, drop in some berries or add protein powders to suit your palate. All you’ll need now is a frosty winter day.

• 1 ripe banana
• ¼-inch knob fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cup hot almond milk

Warm the banana in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, while heating the milk on the stove. Blend all the ingredients in a blender for 2 minutes and you’re done. Drink it while it’s hot!
