Some days, I don't get a lunch break. On busy days like these I like to make myself a green smoothie, so I can drink it quietly during my midday lecture without disturbing anyone. It makes Accounting 101 a little more interesting.
Being healthy shouldn't be a chore - it should be fun and yummy, all the time!
This smoothie honestly tastes like an apple crumble, not green at all. It's like having dessert for lunch. Try it and be amazed!
As a bonus, it only costs about $1.50 to make, and that's even using soy instead of regular milk. Who says healthy living's expensive?
Apple Crumble Green Smoothie
Serves 1
Ingredients
1/2 an apple, chopped
2 tbsp dates, chopped
1 cup milk of choice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Throw everything into a blender and blend until combined. Easy!

Note: this recipe only uses half an apple. If having the other half left over bothers you, a good thing to do is make apple sauce. You can mix this with yoghurt or oatmeal, use as a sauce for various savoury dishes, or as a replacement for oil in baking.
Store-bought apple sauce is traditionally made with a boatload of added sugar. This home-made apple sauce is cheap, easy, and much healthier. If you want you can add a dash of maple syrup or honey, but it really doesn't need it.
Apple Sauce
Peal the apple. Place it in a pot with a little bit of water and a dash of cinnamon. Simmer until the apple has gone soft, then mash it, mixing the mashed apple with the remaining water. And that's it!
