Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Apples (1 large or 2 small; Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, or your favorite)
  • Plain Greek yogurt (about 3/4 cup; whole milk or 2%)
  • Milk (1/2 to 3/4 cup; dairy or unsweetened almond/oat milk)
  • Rolled oats (2–3 tablespoons)
  • Cinnamon (1/2 to 1 teaspoon, to taste)
  • Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Honey or maple syrup (1–2 teaspoons, optional)
  • Ice cubes (a handful, optional for thickness)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
  • Nutmeg or allspice (a pinch, optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep the apple. Core the apple and cut it into chunks. You can leave the skin on for extra fiber and color. If you prefer a silky texture, peel it first.
  2. Soften the oats (optional). If you have an extra few minutes, soak the oats in the milk for 5–10 minutes. This helps them blend smoother and gives a creamier finish.
  3. Add ingredients to the blender. Add apple pieces, Greek yogurt, milk, oats, cinnamon, vanilla, and a small pinch of salt. If you like it sweeter, add honey or maple syrup.
  4. Blend until smooth. Start on low and move to high for 30–60 seconds. If the smoothie seems thick, add a splash of milk. If it’s thin, add a few ice cubes or more yogurt.
  5. Taste and adjust. Add another pinch of cinnamon or a touch of sweetener if needed. A tiny pinch of nutmeg can make it taste more like pie.
  6. Serve immediately. Pour into a chilled glass and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. For extra flair, garnish with a thin apple slice.
