Ingredients
- 10 Fuji apples peeled and diced
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cups protein powder Unsweetened
Instructions
- Peel and dice your apples. Then add them into a medium pot, add the pumpkin spice and salt and cover with water.
- Cook on medium-low heat until the apples are nice and soft, roughly 20 minutes.
- For a smooth apple sauce transfer the sauce to a high-speed blender (or food processor) and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunky texture then leave as or use a potato masher or fork to help break down the larger apple pieces.
- Finally, add in your preferred protein powder and mix until well combined. Serve warm or store for later (see notes for storage)

Notes
- Fridge: Storing this protein-packed applesauce is a breeze. Just pop any leftovers into an airtight container and into the fridge it goes. It'll stay fresh and tasty for up to 10 days!
- Freezer: Got a serious love for applesauce? Double the recipe and freeze it! Spoon the applesauce into freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags (don't forget to leave some room for expansion). Your future self will thank you when you're enjoying this cool treat up to a year later!
- Reheating: When you're ready to enjoy your frozen applesauce, just let it thaw in the fridge overnight. If you're in a hurry, you can also defrost it in the microwave. Just be sure to stir it well before serving to ensure even temperature and texture.
