Apple ‘n’ Spice Smoothie

By: Susan Joy

This smoothie tastes just like an apple pie, it’s such a refreshing smoothie and a great way to start the day. It has a lovely creamy consistency and is packed with fibre and healthy fats.

I’ve used golden flaxseed meal in this recipe but regular flaxseed meal is fine to use (the smoothie will be a little darker). Flaxseed is very low in carbohydrates, making it ideal for people who limit their intake of carbs and is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
