Notes
Using fresh apples: You can make this smoothie with fresh apples, it will be thinner but you can add ½ cup of ice cubes to make it cold.
Milk: I like to use almond milk but any milk is fine to use!
Nut free: To make this nut free use a seed butter, like pumpkin seed butter.
The nutritional facts include the added hemp hearts.
