Months before a new season arrives, I’m already plotting new recipes for my smoothie kitchen. Last summer, I was craving the return of tart, crisp apples, which I love to snack on; add to smoothies, salads, and oatmeal; and use to make one of my favorite desserts, apple pie. Eating apple pie as frequently as I might like probably isn’t the best idea, but this smoothie sates my cravings in the most healthful way possible. You’ll be amazed at how well the classic flavors of apple pie translate to sipping through a straw. Note: If you don't have a high-powered blender, peel the apple before proceeding.

Optional Super Boosts: 

Bee pollen, hemp seeds, flax seeds, maca powder, vanilla or plain protein powder, collagen peptides, reishi, ashwagandha, probiotic powder, pink Himalayan salt, Brazil nuts.
