Healthy Apple Pie Smoothie

Apples are full of disease fighting compounds and antioxidants, and are perfect eaten raw or stewed into homemade applesauce. They're full of fiber, detoxifying, immune boosting, and even help to whiten teeth. Drowning them in sugar is sure to combat all of those stellar health benefits, so why not try a delicious and drinkable frozen apple pie. I promise it will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup vanilla almond milk
• 6 walnuts
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1 large apple (I used fuji)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon ground flax
• 1 teaspoon maca powder

Directions

1. If time allows, soak your walnuts in the almond milk overnight and then proceed in the morning. (Soaking your nuts allows for easier digestion and absorption into your body.) If not, raw or toasted is fine. 
2. Add a handful of spinach or kale for a boost of green goodness.
3. Sprinkle with some cinnamon, your favorite granola, and/or some apple or pear slices for dipping.
4. Add all of your ingredients into a high speed blender, and give it a whirl.
