This smoothie recipe is gluten free, dairy free and nut free. You can also make it vegan/vegetarian, if you use a plant based protein powder.

apple
non-dairy milk
pumpkin pie spice
ground flax meal

Making the Recipe:

I love smoothies in the morning because I can pack them full of nutritious ingredients and they are very simple to make. I find a smoothie made with real foods and a balance of fruits/veggies, protein and healthy fats helps to give me energy and balance blood sugars.

You start by dicing up the apple.

Next, you’ll put some crushed ice, the apples and the rest of the ingredients in a high speed blender or Nutri Bullet.

Blend everything until smooth, pour it into a cup and enjoy! 5 minutes of work for something so tasty. What’s not to love?
