Servings: 1
Calories: 219kcal
Ingredients
- 1 apple cored
- 1/2 cup cranberries
- 3 dates pitted
- 1 pear cored
- 1 tbsp honey raw, unfiltered
- 1 tsp apple pie spice
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
- 1 Collagen Boost optional
Instructions
- Place apples, cranberries, dates, pears, honey, water, apple pie spice, and crushed ice into a Vitamix blender and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Notes
- If you don't have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
- Omitting the honey or dates will make the smoothie slightly less sweet, without changing the overall flavor.
