Apple Almond Butter Smoothie

Apple Almond Butter Smoothie

You will ‘fall’ in love with this easy to make vegan and gluten-free apple smoothie. It’s energizing and filling enough to enjoy for a quick fall breakfast. We drink it to refuel our energy stores after a moderate to rigorous workout.

The Apple Almond Butter Smoothie provides a healthy balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber while also offering a refreshingly sweet and nutty flavor. If your taste buds prefer a little more sweet, try adding bee free honee. It's plant-based, gluten-free and vegan.

We recently added chia seeds to this recipe. Chia seeds promote heart and brain health. The Omega-3's, fiber, and antioxidants in the seeds help to regulate our appetite, blood sugar levels and boost our immune system-essential for weight loss and weight management.
