Now for that super refreshing smoothie!
Apple Pie Green Smoothie
This smoothie is surprisingly reminiscent of apple pie. It is really delicious and I think you’ll find it one of your fast favorites. The fiber from the apples also keeps your stomach full for a long time, so this is a favorite smoothie of mine to take out and about when I’m running errands all morning and need something to tide me over until I get home.
(Recipe from The Abundance Diet, © 2015 by Somer McCowan. Used by permission from Vegan Heritage Press LLC.)
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups packed organic baby spinach
- 1 medium banana
- 2 small apples, cored and quartered
- 1 tablespoon organic apple butter or 1 date, pitted and snipped into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, chia seed, or hemp seed (optional)
- Liquid stevia, to taste (optional)
In a blender, combine the water, spinach, banana, apples, apple butter, cinnamon, ice, and flaxseed, if using. Blend the mixture until completely smooth, creamy, and well combined, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the liquid stevia, if using, and pulse to incorporate.
Makes 1 serving (about 1 quart)

Great smoothy recipe! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Would love to try this cookbook as I’m trying to transition to a vegan diet but struggle with giving up cheese. Having a structured plan would really help me make the transition!

Ah, too bad. I am too late to enter the contest. But will definitely have to check out your blog some more!!
I won this cookbook from #veganrichasindiankitchen and have been cooking all of my meals from it. I lost a pound a day for the first 6 days, which is almost exactly what I put on when I hit my mid forties. I’m very happy about that! Everything is so good. My husband thinks the spicy black bean soup is one of the best I’ve ever made and we loved the pizzas last night. Great job! And a big thank you for the free book. I just bought a copy for a friend who is ready to try a vegan lifestyle.
Tracy! That’s amazing! I’m so pleased you’ve had such great results and that you’re enjoying everything so much! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
