Apple Cinnamon Protein Smoothie
Author:
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup unsweetend almond milk
  • 1 organic apple, chopped in large chunks
  • 1 whole frozen organic banana
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ tsp organic ground cinnamon, or to taste*
  • organic ground cloves, to taste*
  • organic ground ginger, to taste*
  • (optional) 1 Tablespoon. almond butter
  • *Ground spices can be adjusted according to your taste preference. My ratio is about 4:1; 4 x as much cinnamon as ginger and cloves. I suggest starting out with a few shakes of each and taste as you go. You can always add more of one according to your preference.
Instructions

  3. Add in chopped apple chunks and blend.
  4. Add in frozen banana chunks and blend well.
