A healthy version of this festive beverage that is packed with protein, fresh ginger, and even some well-hidden veggies!
This is the perfect Christmas season protein shake. It satisfies those cravings for sugary gingerbread lattes while simultaneously providing an immunity boost (fresh ginger!) a healthy dose of protein, and a full serving of cauliflower! I know it seems like a crazy amount of cauliflower, but don’t let that scare you. It helps to make the shake the right consistency without adding sweetness, and you won’t even know its there! So whether you’re looking for a festive breakfast, a post-workout smoothie, or even just a fun way to sneak in some extra veggies, your search is over. Enjoy!
