    Ingredients

    • 1 medium apple

    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 2 tablespoons plain coconut yogurt

    2. Fill the center with walnuts and cinnamon, and drizzle with maple syrup.

    The apple and filling will be hot. Cooking time depends on apple size and microwave power.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
    • 1/2 cup washed fresh baby spinach

    • 1 cup almond milk
    • 1 serving gluten-free vegan protein powder, per label
    • Optional: small pinch of salt

    Instructions

    1. Add almond milk, spinach, blueberries, peanut butter and protein powder to a blender.
    2. Blend until smooth. Add a little more milk if the protein powder thickens the drink.

    Recipe notes
