    This literally looks like the perfect gingerbread smoothie and the absolute effort you went to to get it perfect seems well worth it! It sounds divine.

    I saw the pictures of this on flickr and couldn’t wait until you posted the recipe! It looks awesome and when I saw that you had white beans in it I was impressed with your creativity as always! Can’t wait to try this!

    Hey love. Great recette, however soy (in all forms) depetes the body of zinc and Trypsin (your bodies natural cancer-fighting enzyme), plus adding additional, unneeded and often detrimental hormones to your body (given that they are already in our water, etc., we don’t need anymore) Try almond, rice or hemp milk!

    Oh and p.s. Blackstrap molasses is sooooooo good!!!!

    Wow! I’d starting sneaking beans into all kinds of baked goods…but never thought of a smoothie! Great idea! And I love the gingerbread flavor.

    I love beans in almost anything and have tried them in pancakes, brownies, cookies, cakes, and of course in many savory dishes but I haven’t tried them in a smoothie! AWESOME! Plus I adore ginger! Home run Sonia! : )

    This looks amazing, especially as I am a molasses fiend! Bring on the gingerbread! I will probably add some spinach to this since I can’t seem to resist thrown green, leafy things in my blender.

    I LOVE this smoothie (I’m having one right now :) . I’ve been doing variations on it for the past few weeks, using whatever compatible bits I can find in my pantry. Frozen bananas are fantastic, but the addition of the white beans is great. Lately, I have been putting in pumpkin, too, which is sooo good. It gives a silky texture to the smoothie, sort of like banana, and it goes perfectly with the ginger, molasses and cinnamon. Not to mention, it gives a great smack of vitamins and fibre.

    I was unsure about beans in a smoothie but I just made this today and it was so good! I had to use regular milk and chocolate soy powder in place of the vanilla whey but it was still delicious! I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for the tip about freezing the banana too! I have been doing that for my other smoothies since I stumbled upon this post on Pinterest last week.

    I love it with the chocolate! You’ve also inspired me to start cooking my own beans. They were the one thing I was still using cans for because I didn’t want to go through the hassle of cooking them but I use the soak overnight method and it’s really not that bad. Thanks for the inspiration! So glad I found your blog through Pinterest!

    I made this today and it was great. When I first saw the recipe white beans among the ingredients seemed a little weird for me but the result was really delicious. Maybe the amount of ginger was a bit too much for me (it was a bit hot for my throat :-) )

    This looks just amazing. I am also wondering how you make the recipe a separate part of your blog that you can just print that and not the rest? I love this.
