For a different alternative to a winter classic, check out our Apple Cider a la GoGo. We love this recipe because we’ve replaced the added sugar that usually goes into apple cider with GoGo goodness found in our nutritious snacks for kids. In addition, we’ve included a pinch of cinnamon, a spice praised for its antioxidant-like properties. And of course, you get some of the benefits of wholesome apples- hard to go wrong with this delicious mix of goodness!
Ingredients
- 8 -10 apples
- 2 pouches Apple Apple GoGo squeeZ (or if you prefer your apple cider to have a heavy cinnamon flavor, you can use our Apple Cinnamon fruit pouches)
- 4 tablespoons cinnamon or 4 cinnamon sticks
- 4 tablespoons whole allspice
