Eating clean?

My pinterest feed seems to be full of 'clean' eating recipes at the minute, which seems to mainly be code for eating fresh unprocessed foods. At least I think that's what it is. I might have got distracted when I was reading about it.

However, there was one recipe which caught my eye, for a smoothie which tastes of apple pie and is incredibly filling. I've been mainly having this for breakfast this week and I throughly recommend it.



Ingredients

5 raw almonds
1 red apple
1 banana
3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup nonfat milk
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Core and slice the apple, chop up the almonds and slice the banana.  The turf the whole lot in a blender and blend for 1 minute on high speed.

It makes one 16-ounce serving for a total of 382 calories and it really does keep you full into lunch time.  Best of all, I can make it the night before, then take the flask from the fridge in the morning and drink it after my cycle to work.
