Vanilla Apple Cinnamon Smoothie


Vanilla Apple Cinnamon Smoothie


Happy Monday Everyone!

Today, I have whipped up a delicious smoothie! This delicious blend is a perfect breakfast or mid-day snack. The smoothie consists of apple, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, vanilla greek yogurt, and flaxseed. This nutritional blend is a great pick me up and will excite your taste buds! 

 I have incorporated vanilla greek yogurt because it is higher in protein than regular yogurt and will help you satisfy your hunger. It is important to always include a source of protein in order to satisfy hunger and help to avoid unhealthy snacking. I have also incorporated pure vanilla extract and cinnamon to enhance the flavour without any sugar or artificial sugar.  Make sure you are careful with the amount of cinnamon you put into your smoothie because it can make the smoothie very rich. Apples also contribute to the flavourful blend as they have many health benefits (make sure to include the peel). Flaxseeds are also included because they have great health benefits without jeopardizing flavour. Instead of reaching for the chip bag, try this!

Recipe:
1 Apple
½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1 dash of ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons of Vanilla Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon of flaxseed
100 mL of water
