• Flax seeds are optional. However, make sure to grind the seeds first so that they can be easily digested. Another alternative is to add chia seeds to this smoothie. Flax seeds are high in protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins, thiamine, magnesium, and phosphorus. Studies show that consuming flax seeds help reduce cholesterol in the blood.

• This recipe uses granny apples but go ahead and use whatever apple you have on hand or prefer.

• If you don’t have ice on hand, you can also freeze your banana and apple.

• Aside from honey, you can also use maple syrup, agave nectar, or none at all. The fruits have natural sweeteners already.
