🍎 Ingredients

  • 1 large Apple: Cored and roughly chopped (keep the skin on for extra nutrients).

  • 1 frozen Banana: This provides the creamy, “ice cream” texture.

  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt: Vanilla or plain works perfectly.

  • 1 cup Milk: Use dairy, almond, or oat milk based on your preference.

  • 1/4 cup Rolled Oats: Adds a hearty, pie-crust flavor.

  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon: The essential cozy spice.

  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract: To enhance the sweetness.

  • Optional: A drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter treat.

🥣 Instructions

  1. Prep the Fruit: Wash your apple thoroughly. You don’t need to peel it—the blender will take care of the skin, and that’s where most of the vitamins live. Chop it into small chunks, discarding the core and seeds.

  2. Layer the Blender: To ensure a smooth blend without taxing your motor, add the liquid (milk) and yogurt first. Then, add the oats, cinnamon, vanilla, and finally the frozen banana and apple chunks.

  3. Blend: Start on a low speed to break up the fruit, then increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is silky and the oats are completely pulverized.

  4. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, splash in a little more milk. If you want it colder/thicker, add a handful of ice cubes and pulse again.

  5. Serve: Pour into a glass and top with a pinch of extra cinnamon or a few fresh apple slices.
