Apple Time - Fun and ...Fun

Two favorite late summer and fall treats of mine are candy apples and fresh apple cider.
A juicy fresh apple dipped in sweet sugary glaze and eaten on a stick is pure heaven.
Chase it with iced cold tangy cider then it become sinful.

To recapture the fun and enjoy the benefits of the apples I added it to my regular veggie / fruit smoothie selection.

County Fair - Apple Smoothie


1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup rice or soymilk
1 Tbls. natural peanut butter ( almond or cashew butter OK)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp Flax / Hemp oil
1 tbls Raw Honey
6- 8 ice cubes
1 medium apple

Blend all well in the blender, serve immediately.

OPTIONAL:
Freeze apple slices and use in smoothie
Freeze cider in ice cube tray and 4-8 cubes for ½ cup cider.

Drink and enjoy the season.
