Description
A refreshing and energizing Apple Spice Protein Smoothie that’s vegan and quick to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 2 Apples, Sliced
- 8 – 12 oz Soy Milk
- 1 – 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1/4 – 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients Together: Start by adding your apples, soy milk, and protein powder into the blender. You will want to get a nice layer of apple slices at the bottom for easy blending. If using a regular blender, ensure the apples are chopped small enough to avoid chunks.
- Add Sweetness & Spice: Pour in the maple syrup and sprinkle in cinnamon for extra warmth. Keep an eye on the sweetness, as it is easy to add too much if you are not careful.
- Check Smoothie Consistency: Hit the blend button until everything is smooth and creamy. You will know it is ready when it looks velvety and does not have big chunks floating around. If it seems too thick, do not hesitate to splash in a bit more soy milk.
- Garnish & Serve: Pour your smoothie into a glass and consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for flair. Each sip should feel refreshing and energizing. If you let it sit too long, it might separate, so give it a stir before enjoying!
Notes
- Best enjoyed fresh; not suitable for prolonged storage due to separation.
- Chop apples into smaller pieces if using a regular blender.
- Taste before serving to adjust sweetness with extra maple syrup or agave if necessary.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more soy milk or water to reach desired consistency.
- For leftovers that may separate, stir or shake before drinking to recombine.
- When choosing protein powder, look for low-sugar options to suit dietary needs.
- Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
- Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast for breakfast.
- Enjoy as a post-workout recovery drink.
- Add nutmeg for a spicier flavor profile.
- Incorporate a tablespoon of almond butter for healthy fats.
