Main Ingredients:
- 2 medium apples, cored
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ cup (120 grams) plain Greek yogurt
Spices:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch ground cardamom
Sweetener:
- Honey or maple syrup to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and chilled for optimal flavor and texture.
- Pour apple juice, yogurt, diced apples, banana, and ice cubes directly into a high-powered blender.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and pulse a few times to break down larger fruit chunks.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the consistency becomes silky and uniform.
- Taste the smoothie and incrementally add honey or maple syrup if a sweeter profile is preferred, blending briefly after each addition.
- Transfer the smooth, creamy mixture into tall serving glasses, filling them to about three-quarters full.
- Delicately sprinkle ground cinnamon across the smoothie’s surface as a fragrant and decorative finishing touch.
- Serve immediately to preserve the smoothie’s optimal temperature and freshness, using a long spoon or straw for enjoyment.
Notes
- Harvest fresh, crisp apples for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness.
- Cinnamon adds a warm, cozy autumn touch that complements the apple’s natural taste.
- Chilling ingredients beforehand creates a more refreshing and thick smoothie texture.
- Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup to match your personal preference.
- Use ripe, in-season apples for maximum nutritional benefits and rich, full-bodied taste.
- Blend thoroughly to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency without any apple chunks.
