Apple Pie Protein Shake

Yes you read right, Apple Pie Protein Shake!  Being a vegetarian, I am always struggling with different ways to get in my protein.  After I made my Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake, I thought I would try an apple pie shake, another favorite of the fall season.  I played around with some ingredients and I think I have found the holy grail of protein shakes!  I'm talking so good, it will feel like a cheat meal!  Tastes fresh and seasonal and just like a freshly baked apple pie (minus all the calories).  Its quick and simple, enjoy!

Apple Pie Protein Shake

Ingredients

3/4 cup almond milk
1/2 apple, peeled, deseeded and chopped
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Jay Robb's non-GMO egg white vanilla protein powder)
1/2 tsp apple pie spice (if you don't have the premixed apple pie spice, please see a recipe down below)
1 tsp pure honey
few ice cubes (don't use too many, or it will water down your shake)

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
