A sweet, yet sugar-free, vegan smoothie brought to you by the letter A
A is for Abundance of Apples
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/4 c apple cider
- 1/4 c unsweetened original almond milk
- 1 T peanut butter or 2 T PB2
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1/2 t vanilla
- 1/2 t Pumpkin pie spice mix
- The teensiest bit of salt (optional, it just makes the other flavors stand out a bit, but don’t overdo it)
You will need:
- Blender
Directions:
Blend it up, please
Alternatives:
- You could substitute the apple cider for unsweetened applesauce for a thicker texture
- If you’re feeling more calorie conscious than budget or eco conscious you could use PB 2 instead of peanut butter. It is peanuts with 90% of the fat taken out. The downside is that there is some sugar and salt added, and it is not organic. It also is a bit expensive ($5.75 at my local co-op).
- You could also substitute the peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter
