Apple Harvest Green Smoothie

Looking for a quick delicious way to ingest loads of essential vitamins and nutrients? Look no further.

Let's be honest...I regret absolutely NONE of the buttery, sugary choices I made during the 2014 holidays...I thoroughly enjoyed every calorie-packed bite.

However, I do believe I could benefit significantly from some more health-conscious food choices during 2015...starting now. :)

This green smoothie is loaded with protein, antioxidants, iron and vitamin C (not to mention countless other nutrients), but also satisfies a sweet tooth, especially for those tangy and nutty flavors of the season.

My toddler helped me with a few spoonfuls, and this tasty treat was gone in less than five minutes!

Apple Harvest Green Smoothie





Ingredients:

1 1/2 large Gala apples, roughly chopped
2 cups, packed, baby spinach leaves
1/2 chopped pecans
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp. honey

Instructions:

Place all ingredients in a large blender and blend on high for about one minute, or until totally pureed.

The smoothie has almost a gazpacho texture, thick and chunky. If you like it more smooth, simply add more juice and blend longer.



As Bundle would say, "All gone!" 


Enjoy with life!  <3
