Gingerbread Smoothie

I had a lot of funny making gingerbread cookies with my daughter this year. Inlight of her mermaid obsession there was even an attempted sculpting of a gingerbread mermaid (thanks to her daddy). It may have turned out slightly bodybuilder-ish in physique, but my daughter still recognized it as a mermaid. Well, I needed something gingerbread flavored that wasn’t an iced cookie that called to me a 1am. This smoothie hit the spot and kept me out of the cookie tin.
