I said almost…so back off. 😉
I’ve been sharing some of my favorite holiday themed smoothie recipes with y’all for the past couple of months and I’m at it again with a little help from Puritan’s Pride. Most of the time I make smoothies for a healthy breakfast or post workout snack but they can also be a healthier way to indulge this holiday season. If you’re looking for a lower calorie option to your usual holiday cocktails, try these deliciou smoothie mocktails. They’re almost as good as the ones with the booze….almost. 😉  Hey, but WAY healthier.
Here are some of my very favorite holiday smoothie mocktail creations:
A Very White Christmas:
- 1 scoop of Puritan’s Pride Soy Protein Isolate Powder Vanilla
- 1 banana
- 1-2 drops of peppermint flavor extractÂ
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp agave nectar
- Approx: 5 ice cubes
Blend and enjoy this one by the fire with your favorite holiday tunes and holiday sweater (don’t worry, we won’t tell),
The Ginger Lady:
- 1 scoop of Puritan’s Pride Soy Protein Isolate Powder Vanilla
- 1 banana
- 1-2 pinches of Lehi Valley Natural GingerÂ
- Cinnamon, to taste
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp agave nectar
- Approx: 5 ice cubes
Blend and enjoy! This one tastes best while decorating the tree or baking dozens of sugar cookies for your neighbors (usually drinking a smoothie yields better cookie results than when I drink #allthewine – just sayin’).
Jamie’s Holy Hangover Helper  (this one is muy especial, folks…works every time! 😉Â
- 1 scoop of Puritan’s Pride Soy Protein Isolate Powder Vanilla
- One tbsp Dynamic Health Pomegranate Juice Concentrate
- 1-2 pinches of Puritan’s Pride Vitamin C Crystals
- One banana
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- One cup orange juice
Blend and enjoy! This is my favorite holiday smoothie when the night before makes it almost impossible to enjoy the night after. Nurse the hangover with plenty of vitamin C and look festive while doing it.

Martinis!
HAHAH YES!
These recipes are amazing!!
Thanks Laura, I appreciate it, they were pretty fun to make as well! 😉
Those sound really good! I love smoothies, but I almost never make them for some reason!
I am a self proclaimed smoothie addict…I almost can’t go a day without one. 😉 Once you start…you can’t stop!
Champagne all the way!!
Oh def, champagne, a must! 😉
Favorite holiday cocktail: I really like hot toddies or traditional nog. And red wine. Haha!
Yes – to all of those! 😉
Someone just turned me in to a sparkling pilot noir… Its called Chuck… I think??? Not too bad!
I love sparkling anything… so I get it! 😉
I don’t know about holiday cocktails but I’m definitely feeling a good bourbon old fashioned these days!
Mmm, sometimes nothing better than a classic cocktail! 😉
We made some holiday cocktails at our Friendsgiving party and the best was definitely a Seared Lemon Ginger Spritzer with Gin! I probably could have used that last smoothie recipe the next day 😉
OMG, that sounds amazing, I am gonna google for a recipe (only maybe with vodka as I’m not a gin girl!).
I love hot buttered rum! So delicious!!!
Never heard of it, does it taste like butterscotch maybe? 😉
