If you’re like me, the liberal use of spices in food and beverages is one of the things you treasure about this time of year. My children seem to be spice lovers too. And this super-simple dairy-free smoothie is a treat that our whole family has been enjoying since autumn came to Scandinavia. It can be served warm or cold, so take your pick according to your local climate or preference!

GINGERBREAD OAT MILK SMOOTHIE
Prep time: 5 mins | Serves: 2-3
INGREDIENTS
500 ml oat milk (we used Oatly)
2 chopped, frozen bananas
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
A pinch of ground clove (or nutmeg if you prefer)
50 ml coconut cream (optional)
1/2 tbsp rice malt/maple syrup (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Blitz all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour and serve, with an extra light sprinkling of spice if you like.
*For a warm smoothie option, use chopped bananas (not frozen). Gently heat milk in a small saucepan, adding spices and syrup (if desired). Pour milk mix into blender over bananas and blitz until smooth. Pour and enjoy immediately.
*For a gluten-free/Paleo option, use almond milk
This looks so so good and that photoooooo – so cute <3 I have to try this, sounds like a magical milkshake. XO
Yum. That’s a great idea for oat milk.
This was delicious and perfect for a cold morning! Love all the spices and the warmth. Happy New Year xoxo
Thank you so much, Claire! Happy New Year to you! xxx
