I have a smoothie almost every morning for breakfast. I have a template I usually follow, but occasionally there’s a piece of fruit that needs to be eaten so I try something new. That’s how I came up with this smoothie.
Apple Pie Green Smoothie
- 3 pitted dates
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 medium apples
- 3 cups packed frozen kale
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Place the dates and water in the blender. Cut the apples into large chunks. Add the kale, apple chunks, almond butter, coconut, flax seeds, cinnamon, allspice, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Serve.
Makes approximately 3 cups
I buy bags of precut, washed kale and keep them in the freezer. I like my smoothies cold. In addition to the frozen kale, I keep as many ingredients as possible in the refrigerator.

I have no clue. I’m not really a calorie counter.
This sounds really interesting!
