Cinnamon Apple Smoothie

Cinnamon Apple Smoothie

NOTES

Erin recommends you make this smoothie with alcohol-free vanilla extract, but feel free to use regular vanilla extract if that's what you have on hand. She also recommends you use a firm apple like Granny Smith or Empire.

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces coconut water
4 raw almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped apple (about 1 medium apple)
1/2 scoop unsweetened protein powder
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (ground flaxseed)

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine all ingredients into a blender, and pulse for approximately 10-15 seconds.
2. If you're going to drink it immediately, add three ice cubes to chill it. If you're preparing ahead of time, chill in the fridge overnight.
