Is there a substitute for molasses? Maybe honey or maple syrup? (I can't find it at my local grocery.) Sounds delicious, nevertheless! I can't wait to try it out!
Aimee says
Thanks Cayla! I think the molasses really helps to give that classic gingerbread taste but I'm sure t would be delicious with maple syrup or even dates too. Please let me know how it turns out if you try it :-)

Smoothies remind me of summer, but I never tried a gingerbread one before. It sounds intriguing.
