The trees around us are starting to put on their colorful coats and the weather is dipping delightfully  in the evenings.  I’m in the mood for Autumn with an eye towards getting healthy

Blend on low in Vita-mix to keep some of the texture:

3 apples

1 pear

1/2 C frozen blueberries*

1/2 C raisins

1/2 banana

1 C apple juice (fresh is best!)

2 scoops of protein powder**

freshly grated nutmeg

pinch of clove, allspice and a generous dash of cinnamon

Pour this into two glasses, rinse your blender.

For the topping, blend on high:

1/2 banana

1/2 C macadamia nuts

1/4 C water (more if necessary) 

1 scoop of protein powder**

Blend until smooth and pour on top of the smoothie.  sprinkle with more fresh nutmeg and ground cinnamon. Enjoy

Serves 2…  (if you want to share)

* I froze blueberries when they were sweet and in season, but frozen unsweet blueberries will do in a pinch!

** I use Balance Complete from Young Living available here
