Servings: 1
Prep Time: 5 mins
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 small banana, frozen
- 1 large apple, sliced
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 2 tsp maple syrup (or to taste)
- 3 tbsp rolled oats
- A pinch of ground cinnamon
- A pinch of ground nutmeg
- A pinch of ground cloves
Directions
1. Start by gathering all the ingredients. You will need a ripe banana, a fresh apple, some creamy yogurt, a splash of apple juice, a handful of oats, a spoonful of almond butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
2. Once you have all the ingredients ready, it’s time to prepare your delicious smoothie. Begin by peeling the banana and cutting it into small slices. Core the apple and chop it into chunks, ensuring to remove the seeds.
3. Now, grab your high-speed blender and add the banana slices, apple chunks, yogurt, apple juice, oats, almond butter, maple syrup, and the spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. These aromatic spices will give your smoothie a warm and comforting flavor.
4. Place the cup of the blender onto the base and blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. The high-speed blender will ensure a silky texture and combine all the flavors beautifully.
5. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can throw in a handful of ice cubes and blend again. This will give your smoothie a refreshing and frosty touch. On the other hand, if you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of milk and blend until you reach the desired thickness.
6. Once the smoothie is blended to your liking, pour it into a tall glass or a portable mason jar. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few apple slices on top for an extra touch of presentation.
Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy your homemade banana apple yogurt smoothie! It’s a healthy and delicious way to start your day or enjoy as a satisfying snack. The combination of fruits, yogurt, and spices provides a balanced mix of vitamins, fiber, and protein to keep you energized throughout the day.
Give it a try and let the flavors dance on your taste buds. Cheers to a delightful and nutritious treat!
