It's officially the first day of school here in the LBC which means my little girl is a 7th grader! YIKES! There will probably be tears on my part in the morning and lots of hair straightening and primping for her. In between sobbing and packing her lunch I plan on making her one of these delicious apple pie smoothies for breakfast.
This smoothie is brimming with good for you ingredients like 2 whole apples, coconut milk, unfiltered apple juice, raw cashews, dates and warming spices. It's a must-make for any smoothie lover!
I love apple season and will probably be stuffing them into as many recipes as I possibly can over the next few months. This weekend we have decided to take a trip out of the city to visit an apple orchard with the kids where we will pick apples until our hearts are content. I have even stocked up on canning supplies because there is nothing better than a pantry packed with homemade apple sauce!

That looks/sounds delicious. We don't have readily available pumpkin pie spice over here, do you know what the spice combo would be so I could make my own?
Meg says
Hi Rosie, This will make a bit more than you need, but you can keep some on hand for your next smoothie! Mix all of these spices together in a small bowl and store in an airtight container until ready to use:
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice and 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves.
