In honor of #NationalApplePieDay I’ve created this delicious Layered Apple Pie Breakfast Smoothie suitable for both my Guided Gut Healing and Lean and Clean Programs!

My top tip is to make a double batch of the stewed apple mixture, and serve it with some coconut or almond yoghurt and a scoop of collagen for a quick breakfast later in the week…

For the stewed apple (makes 2 servings):

• 1 medium apples
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wash the apples and chop into small squares, and simmer in a small amount of water until soft (approx. 5 minutes) Drain, then mash and mix together with the cinnamon and coconut oil. Cool slightly before using in the smoothie.

For the vanilla smoothie

• 30g vanilla protein powder
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 tablespoon chia seed
• 1/2 zucchini, chopped
• 1 cup almond milk

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Layer the smoothie in a glass by adding the stewed apples, pour on the vanilla smoothie, then topped with toasted mixed nuts.
