Treat your taste buds with apple pie in the morning! Instead of using almond milk with this smoothie, I opted for water with 1 tablespoon walnuts to increase the fiber and healthy fats in this breakfast treat! The carb count is higher than my average smoothie, making it a great snack before an intense workout or highly stressful day.
Ingredients
½ cup water
½ cup unsweetened unpasteurized apple juice
1 tablespoon walnuts
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract or maple extract
pinch ground nutmeg
½ English cucumber
2 cups spinach
1 apple, chopped and frozen
¼ avocado, chopped and frozen
4-6 ice cubes
Instructions
Place in your blender in the order of the ingredients listed, then blend for 30 seconds or until smooth.
