Description
A creamy, nutritious smoothie that tastes just like apple pie!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large apple (peeled and cored)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- Pinch of salt
- Optional garnish: apple slice, sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, whipped cream
Instructions
- Start your apple pie smoothie journey by washing, peeling, coring, and slicing the apple into chunky pieces. This will not only make blending easier but also ensures a perfect smooth consistency. Choosing a fresh apple enhances the flavor and sweetness of your smoothie.
- In your blender, combine the apple chunks, Greek yogurt, milk, frozen banana, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), vanilla extract, maple syrup or honey (if desired), a pinch of salt, and the ice cubes. This combination creates a dreamy mixture that captures all the essence of apple pie.
- Blend your mixture on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds, or until it becomes a smooth consistency. Depending on your blender, you might need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined. Once you achieve the right smoothness, taste it and adjust any sweetness or spices as needed, making this smoothie truly your own.
- Pour your delicious apple pie smoothie into a glass, and consider garnishing it with an apple slice, a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, or a dollop of whipped cream. These finishing touches not only enhance the flavor but make it look appealing as well, adding to the overall experience.
Notes
For a thicker consistency, increase the amount of ice or swap out the milk for yogurt.
