Apple Pie Smoothie
What's great about it
This apple pie smoothie is incredible and bursting with health benefits. It's been my daily breakfast smoothie of the moment for the last few weeks and it's just like eating apple pie for breakfast! It's high in complete protein and a healthy dose of fibre (probiotics) for healthy digestion - the perfect healthy breakfast or snack full of seasonal apples and scented with a hint of cinnamon.

2 small red organic apples, chopped with skin
1/4 cup (60ml) water or apple juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - this is for the sautéed apples and the smoothie.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 fresh pitted dates, stevia, or a little maple to sweeten

Notes and Inspiration
Add a teaspoons of Healthy Chef Turmeric Latte when blending your smoothie.
Add 1 teaspoon of Healthy Chef Matcha when blending your smoothie for added glowing skin benefits. If so, use golden delicious apples in place of red apples.
