The Apple Pie Protein Smoothie is a delicious, high-protein shake inspired by the comforting flavors of homemade apple pie. Packed with fiber, antioxidants, and muscle-building protein, this smoothie is a perfect meal replacement or post-workout recovery drink.
Apples are rich in fiber and vitamin C, which support digestion and immune function. Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar levels and provides anti-inflammatory benefits, while protein powder ensures muscle repair and sustained energy. Almond milk adds creaminess without excess calories, making this smoothie a nutritious and satisfying choice.
Ingredients:
- 1 small apple (cored and chopped)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ banana (for natural sweetness)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp almond butter (optional, for healthy fats)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled texture)
Instructions:
- Prepare the ingredients: Wash, core, and chop the apple. Slice the banana if using fresh.
- Blend: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy a protein-packed version of your favorite dessert.
Pro Tip: For an extra fiber boost, add 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds or oats. You can also use Greek yogurt instead of almond milk for added protein and creaminess.
