Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 apple cored
- 1 banana frozen, sliced
- 1 cup almond milk, vanilla unsweetened
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed
- 1 cup ice
- 1 Collagen Boost optional
Instructions
- Place apple, banana, almond milk, cinnamon, flaxseeds, and ice into a 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
- For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.
- 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.
- You can add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter for extra protein and satiety.
- For a creamier texture, try using Greek yogurt instead of almond milk.
