Apple Pie Smoothie recipe
Ingredients:
1 medium apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well), cored and chopped
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup ice cubes (adjust for desired thickness)
Optional toppings: Chopped nuts, granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions:
Prepare the Apple:
Wash, core, and chop the apple into small pieces for easier blending. Using a ripe apple will naturally sweeten the smoothie without needing extra sugar.
Blend the Base:
In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped apple, almond milk, and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Add the Spices:
Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to infuse the smoothie with those classic apple pie flavors. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add honey or maple syrup at this stage.
Chill with Ice:
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the mixture is cold, thick, and perfectly smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or ice depending on your preference.
Serve Immediately:
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and garnish with optional toppings like chopped nuts, granola, or an extra dash of cinnamon for added texture and flavor. Enjoy right away while it’s cold and refreshing!
