This smoothie recipe is perfect for using leftover holiday baking ingredients like pecans, vanilla, cinnamon and maple syrup. It's rich enough that you think you are still eating decadent, but actually, it's quite healthy and high in lean proteins and vitamins so your pants and dresses still fit on New Year's Eve.
Put everything in order listed in a Vitamix or other high-powered blender. If using a Vitamix, choose the 'Frozen Desserts' setting and let that magic machine do the work! Once the blender stops, check the consistency. Add more water if you like a thinner smoothie or more ice if you want it frothier.
