Apple Pie Smoothie
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
While people are committing to healthier eating habits I always suggest if you have a certain craving see if you can attempt to turn it into a healthy juice, smoothie or a vegetable or fruit-based dish. You might surprise yourself and enjoy the healthier option more! If you have a pizza craving you could try something like our Quinoa Cauliflower Pizza or our Kale and Sweet Potato Pizza or our Pizza Chips, or if you may have a chocolate craving you can try our Raw Chocolate Mousse or one of our delicious chocolate smoothies. So when you are craving an Apple Pie this season, satisfy it with this comforting apple pie smoothie.
