I am on a big fruit craze right now. Every summer I am just craving fruits so today I wanted to share some recipes that include apples in your daily snacking.
Apples have tons of antioxidants that are disease-fighting compounds; research says that apples can help with healing and lowering risk of Alzheimer, Parkinson’s, type 2 diabetes or cancer…
Apples are full of pectin, known as a soluble fiber (4g in one apple) that brings you lots of health benefits, such as: lowering cholesterol levels, detoxifying your liver, helping with IBS, curing constipation/diarrhea, boost your immune system and so on.
So why not to choose a simple solution for your optimum health. Especially thatan apple +PB combo is so tasty.
Good Morning Apple Smoothie:
1 apple, chopped and cored
3-4 dried pitted prunes
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp cardamon
¼ tsp fresh ginger
1 Tbsp all natural Peanut butter (of course)
cup of almond milk or dairy milk of your choice
Place all ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth
PB Apple rings
Cut an apple into rings, spread Pb and add some almonds on top.
Apple Pie post workout snack
1 chopped apple
½ cup cottage cheese
1tsb Pb or Sunflower butter
1 tsp of cinnamon and some raisins
Fist place a chopped apple into a bowl and microwave for 30-50 sec. until soft. Add other ingredients and enjoy your protein tasty snack
Fresh Apple juice is always a healthy choice. Mix it up a bit with a bunch of parsley or apples and carrots are always a great combination.
Until next time
