This Apple Cider Shake gives you all the Fall flavors like apples and spice!

I’m still working on a THM-friendly version of Apple Cider or something similar enough to pass for Cider, but in the meantime, I’ve been enjoying this lovely Apple Cider Shake. Lately, I’ve been a huge fan of quick, easy Fall snacks. Shakes are a great option for busy Mamas because they whip up in just minutes! This recipe gives you more than enough goodness to share with a friend (or 2 hungry little men). 🙂 It’s totally kid-friendly! My kids have been bringing me apples asking me to make another apple shake.

This shake is on my rotation because it includes cold-fighting ingredients like Baobab Powder. Baobab gives this recipe a great “tangy” taste without being overpowering. I used fun spices like allspice and cinnamon to recreate a cider-like flavor. I used a small amount, but you can easily up that if you like your ciders to have more spice. Almond milk and a tiny bit of collagen give this shake a creamier texture, almost similar to a frappe, while MCT oil gives you fat-burning benefits.

My Apple Cider Shake is an “E” because of the carbs from the apple. I find this shake works best as a snack rather than a meal, but if you’d like to have it for breakfast, up the collagen to 1 scoop. That should give you enough protein to hold you over. This shake is listed as a single-serve recipe, but in all reality, it makes a VERY large serving. I was able to have more than enough for my 2 boys and I.
