Apple Spice Smoothie

Fall Season is in full swing over here in the good old US of A … and fall festivities are catching fever. One of my favourite parts about being over here for the fall is that the smell of apple cider fills the air everywhere you go. There’s nothing quite like a warm brew of spicy apple goodness!

Which got me thinking, and then craving … how amazing would a Apple Spice Smoothie be!? But don’t worry, this smoothie recipe is not just for my fall friends, it  will keep you refreshed all year around.

By the way, apples are not only delicious, they are super good for you, and if you don’t know all the benefits that a delicious apple can offer you then you better check out my blog  An Apple a Day. It will help keep the doctor away …
