When you feel like soaking up every last drop of December by adding some holiday cheer to your breakfast smoothie!
That’s where I’m at right now… trying to take in what’s left of December and wishing it would linger a little longer.
Between moving and getting settled into the new house to the renovations we’re doing and work stuff to getting everything done in time for Christmas, I feel like I haven’t done anything holiday-ish this season at all because it’s the busiest we’ve ever been… which makes me so sad! We finally got a tree on Sunday that I finished decorating on Tuesday… SO late to the game. At least we got one (our first tree together!) and can enjoy it for a little while, but we didn’t do lights outside or anything so I’m feeling totally disconnected from Christmas this year.
I’ve been hustling to get my Vegan Hormone Meal Plan eBook ready to be released in time for the new year so that’s been taking up my work days which is why there hasn’t been much happening this month here on the blog. I’m a one-woman show but trying my best!! Plus, it’s totally worth the wait because this eBook is super special and unique – unlike anything I’ve ever done. I couldn’t be more proud of how it’s turning out and am eager to share with you so thanks for being patient with me!
I did however make time for this vegan ‘Holiday White Peppermint Smoothie’ which is making me feel much better about everything 🙂
Creamy and similar to a frosty but with hints of peppermint, it’s perfect for these last few mornings before Christmas Day! Filled with healthy fats, plant protein and veggies, it will keep your blood sugar stable so you can power through the end of this hectic week!
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut or almond milk
- 1 cup frozen cauliflower
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1 scoop vanilla plant protein
- 2 tablespoons coconut butter (or 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut)
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Top with shredded coconut (looks like snow!) and/or berries.
- Enjoy!
Love you guys!

PIN FOR LATER:
Hi! I was wondering what I could substitute the protein powder for? Not a huge fun of the stuff. Thank you!
Hi Alicia,
No worries, you could sub a couple tablespoons hemp seeds, or just leave it out altogether. Hope this helps!

loved it!!!
is the cauliflower necessary? or is it fine without it? im not usually that person ill try anything but it sounds strange haha 🙂
Hi Inga! Frozen cauliflower is not necessary, but it’s a great way to add in extra veggies as it’s virtually tasteless in this recipe! Plus, it helps to make it cold and creamy. Hope this helps!
Shannon
awesome thank you, that is a great idea! i cant wait to try it :)))))
I had never think combination of pepper mint with smoothie. It is so yummy to see. I tried it in my home last Sunday. My kids loved it and they are asking for many more. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
