Just letting you know, this Pumpkin Gingerbread Smoothie Recipe was originally published in November 2014. I retested, rephotographed and updated the content for you. Hope you enjoy it!

Merry day after Christmas lovelies! Yesterday I took a much needed break from the blog to relax and just enjoy time with my parents and the guy. My parents flew in Saturday just in time for the festivities. I taught spin class Christmas Eve morning then we had dinner here and opened gifts. 

In the morning we were going to make skinny gingerbread pancakes but I ended up breaking out in hives Christmas Eve. The guy and my Mom had to run out for Benadryl in the middle of the night. I'm still dealing with the hives and trying to figure out what the cause is.

Christmas Day the guy and I took his girls to a movie then everyone came to my house for Christmas dinner feast. It was nice having everyone at my house, and feeding them. It was an early night, which is a good thing because my hives were in serious force. I've dealt with them my whole life. I always seem to become allergic to something every few years. Ugh...

Back to the usual grind today making recipes and catching up on a trillion emails. I swear the last few months between the new blog (which I hope you love as much as I do) and preparing for my meal plan launch, things have been a little crazy.

P.S. if you haven't signed up for your meal plan yet, make sure you do soon because there is about a 1-2 week turn around right now depending on when you get me your questionnaire.

Okay, now for a yummy Pumpkin Gingerbread Smoothie! While I was going through recipes to get ready for my new site switch, I stumbled across this old recipe which was in much need of upgraded pictures. The old ones were sad! I took the opportunity to also give the recipe a few updates.

It's already popping with cinnamon, pumpkin, ginger and nutmeg, but I decided it needed a kick of cloves to really give it a deeper flavor. I also gave it a protein boost by adding my favorite collagen to it. I've had a few of you ask me what the difference is between the collagen peptides and marine collagen.

Collagen peptides is made from cow skin, joints, etc. and marine is made from fish. The marine collagen generally absorbs better and has more omega-3 which is great for reducing inflammation, however, it does come with a fishy flavor. 

And that's it folks! Here's the smoothie recipe. Tell me what Santa brought you in the comments!

    This looks fantastic! But I'm wondering if I should leave out the oats? I struggle with menopausal weight gain, and it seems like carbs in the form of grain completely stall my weight loss (or even cause me to gain considerably). Would you recommend something else in place of the oats? Obviously, I need to watch the calories too.

      I don't know anything about your background so it's hard for me to say. In general, oats are wonderful food for menopause. The dietary fiber shuttles excess hormones out of the body as well as excess fat. The issue is when they are not properly balanced. Refined carbs, hidden sugars and lack of omega-3's are generally the bigger problem with weight and hormones. You also have to consider you need to eat fewer calories as you age because metabolism slows down. I would never recommend omitting the oats. If anything, you should add flax or hemp seeds to get the omega-3 boost to work together with the fiber in the oats to balance your hormones.

        Thank you so much for all that info. All very helpful tips! I know that I need to supplement with the omega-3s. I've fallen off the wagon there...need to start back up!
