INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR HEALTHY APPLE PIE PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

Apples – I chose Sweet Tango apples. It is a sweeter apple that has hints of honey, citrus and spice. It pairs well with the cinnamon protein powder. Honeycrisp, Gala or Fiji apple are good options as well.
Banana – Can be fresh or a frozen banana to add some extra flavor and creamy smoothie.
Cinnamon Cereal protein powder – Apple pie would not be the same without the cinnamon spice. I used BodyTech Cinnamon Cereal Whey protein powder for that cinnamon kick.
Old fashion oats – I added oats for a thicker smoothie consistency
Almond milk – has a mild nutty flavor with a slightly sweet undertone

WHAT TYPE OF MILK TO USE

For this recipe, I opted for Almond milk, as it’s a staple in our pantry. If you have specific dietary preferences, use the milk that aligns best with those.

Some additional options to consider are:

Oat milk
Soy milk
Coconut milk
Cashew milk

For a vegan apple pie smoothie, skip the milk all together and substitute apple juice instead.

CAN I ADD NUT BUTTER

Nut butter would be a great addition to this already healthy smoothie. It would add some healthy fat as well as add some additional protein. A few nut butters that would make a great addition are:

Almond butter
