Apple Pie Protein Smoothie
This apple pie smoothie is a creamy, protein-packed twist on a fall favorite. Blended with apples, almond butter, and warm spices, it’s the perfect cozy drink for breakfast, post-workout, or anytime you crave something sweet and nourishing.
Ingredients
- 1 small apple chopped
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I personally use Levels Whey Vanilla Protein )
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- ¾ cup almond milk
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1–2 Medjool dates for added sweetness and caramel-like flavor
- Caramel sauce for drizzling – optional but so worth it!
Instructions
- Blend the Base – Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Caramel Drizzle – Use a spoon to drizzle caramel sauce inside a chilled glass before pouring in the smoothie.
- Pour & Garnish – Pour in the smoothie, then top with a light drizzle of caramel and a sprinkle of cinnamon or even crushed graham crackers for a “pie crust” touch.
- Serve Immediately – Enjoy it fresh for the best taste and texture.
