Apple Crisp Protein Smoothie

This high-protein smoothie has all the delicious flavors of an apple crisp. This Apple Crisp Protein Smoothie is healthy, filling, and nutritious.

One of the requests I hear a lot is for help with breakfasts. It's part of why I made my cookbook, Clean Eating Breakfasts and Lunches Made Simple. In general, protein smoothies are a great way to make a quick and healthy choice in the morning.

Ingredients Notes

Apples: I usually go for large honey crisp apples for this recipe, although pink ladies, gala, or fuji work as well. For a crisp, tart undertone, go for a Granny Smith apple. The fresher and crisper the apples, the better.

Liquid: Usually, I use unsweetened almond milk for this, although any milk will do. This is what we will use if we need to reduce the thickness. If your apple is super juicy, you might need to reduce the milk used.

Ice: Ice is what you want to control if you need to increase the thickness of the apple crisp protein smoothie. If you want it thicker, just add more ice, although do it a little at a time.

How To Make an Apple Crisp Protein Smoothie

Step 1: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.

Step 2: Blend until smooth. It's that simple 🙂

Substitutions

Dates: If you don't like dates or can't have them, you can swap them for pure maple syrup or some raw honey. I would use about a tablespoon.

Protein Powder: I might be biased, but I love our cleanish protein powder. Any vanilla protein powder will do if you have your personal preference.

Dairy: I love using almond milk, but you can use whatever you prefer based on your diet. This is usually a direct swap.
