Antioxidant-Rich Apple Cider Smoothie

This antioxidant-rich smoothie is a delicious and healthy way to start your day. It's made with unsweetened coconut milk, apple cider, frozen berries, chopped banana, spinach, almond butter, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. The coconut milk provides a creamy base, while the apple cider adds a tart sweetness. The frozen berries and banana add sweetness and antioxidants, and the spinach provides a boost of vitamins and minerals. The almond butter adds a nutty flavor and healthy fats, while the chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. The ground cinnamon adds a warm spice that complements the other flavors in the smoothie.
