Ingredient Benefits
🍎 Apple (with skin): Fiber + Gut Health
Keeping the skin on adds essential fiber, antioxidants, and natural sweetness. Apples support digestion, heart health, and stable energy.
💪 Cinnamon Protein Powder: Cozy Flavor + Muscle Support
Cinnamon adds warmth while the protein powder supports strong muscles, better metabolism, and steady blood sugar.
🥄 Tahini: Hormone-Balancing Healthy Fats
Tahini is rich in calcium, iron, and healthy fats — perfect for women needing nourishment for hormone balance and energy.
🧊 Silken Tofu: Plant Protein + Creaminess
Tofu blends beautifully, adding creaminess and a surprising protein boost without affecting the flavor.
🌱 Ground Flaxseed: Omega-3s + Fiber
Flaxseed supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and adds beneficial fats that support brain function and hormone health.
🌼 Apple Pie Spice: Anti-Inflammatory Boost
The spice blend (typically cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice) supports blood sugar balance and gut health.
🥛 Warm Cashew Milk: Smooth + Delicious
Cashew milk blends into a warm, silky base that feels like a cozy winter treat.
✨ Vanilla Extract: Natural Sweetness
Vanilla adds depth and enhances the apple-pie flavor without added sugar.
