Apple Peanut Butter Smoothie

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 small apple, chopped, remove core and seeds, keep peel on
• 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons honey (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4-6 ice cubes

Directions:

Combine milk or milk alternative, apple, peanut butter, honey (if using), vanilla, cinnamon and ice cubes in a blender. Puree until smooth.

Notes:

You can use any variety of apples that you have on hand. Sweet and crisp apples like Fuji, Gala and Honeycrisp would work well here, but you can also use Granny Smith for its sharp, tart flavor. There's no need to peel the apple for this recipe - simply remove the core and seeds. The whole fruit, peel and all, is nutritious and includes fiber that will help keep you satisfied. Feel free to substitute with your favorite type of milk alternatives and your favorite type of nut butter.
