INGREDIENTS - makes 1 serving

• 2C milk, preferably unsweetened coconut or almond milk from carton should be 50 cals/cup or less
• 1 apple, preferably organic they’re on Dirty Dozen list of most heavily sprayed produce
• 1 handful lettuce, preferably organic it’s on the Dirty Dozen list

• 1/2 scoop Fiber – optional
• 1t ground cinnamon powder
• 1t pure vanilla extract – optional
• Ice – optional

DIRECTIONS: Put all ingredients in the blender and mix well. If the shake is not cold enough then you can add some ice to the blender. If the shake is too thick then add some ice water to the blender. You can slice and freeze the apples to make the smoothie colder. You can also make ice cubes with the coconut or almond milk to add. Optional, sprinkle with ground cinnamon as garnish.

HEALTHY HINTS & TIPS: Fiber, protein, and healthy fat all help the natural sugar in fruit go into your bloodstream more slowly so it doesn’t spike your blood sugar, produce excess insulin, then get stored as fat. My picks: Garden of Life RAW Protein Beyond Organic Protein Formula and Garden of Life RAW Beyond Organic Fiber.
