yummy-christmas-smoothieThis is not a healthy smoothie recipe, but most things served during Christmas are meant to be a delicious treat and not for optimum health, so live a little and try this Christmas smoothie. It does have some calories, so a little goes a long way and there is some alcohol involved so it will make the family get-togethers a little more palatable. ;-)

Christmas Smoothie Ingredients:

  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 Scoop vanilla bean ice cream
  • 1.5 ounces Amaretto
  • 1.5 ounces Kahlua
  • Crushed Amaretti biscuits (optional)
  • Cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Place all ingredients except for the biscuits and cinnamon in a blender and blend it for about a minute or until creamy. Pour into a glass and garnish with the crushed Amaretti biscuits and cinnamon. Serves 2
