GREEN APPLE PIE SMOOTHIE

I am always looking for new ways to make smoothies more filling and healthy, I’ve started adding silken tofu. The tofu makes smoothies extra creamy and thick, and adds extra nutrition, including loads of protein. The tart green apples combined with silken tofu, maple syrup, a hint of vanilla and spices makes this smoothie taste just like apple pie. Spinach adds iron, calcium, and makes it a lovely shade of green, don’t you think?

This scrumptious smoothie tastes like apple pie in a glass! Plus, it’s high in protein without resorting to powders – and, thanks to silken tofu, ultra-creamy without milk or bananas.
