Butternut-Apple Smoothie
Autumn means butternut squashes are popping up everywhere! Have you ever thought of trying butternuts in a smoothie? This smoothie gets its amazing “creaminess” from the butternut squash as well as unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 small apple cored, cut into chunks and frozen
- 8 ounces unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 cup canned butternut squash puree or 1/2 cup cooked
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- Dash ginger and nutmeg
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein (such as Ice cubes as desired
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients except protein powder and ice for about a minute.
- Add protein powder and blend for another minute.
- Add ice and blend for another minute or until smoothie is thick and creamy.
Notes
This smoothie is equally delicious when swapping frozen apple chunks with frozen pear chunks.
For a completely dairy-free smoothie, make sure to use a vegan protein powder such as the this one. (Vegan protein powders will become creamier with extra blending.)
