Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium apple Honeycrisp or Gala recommended, cored and chopped
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats use certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt plant-based yogurt for vegan option
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or nut/seed butter of choice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey optional, adjust to taste
  • 5-6 ice cubes

Optional Toppings

  • diced apple
  • granola
  • cinnamon for sprinkling
  • nut butter for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Wash and core your apple, then chop into chunks (no need to peel if using organic apples—the skin contains beneficial nutrients). Measure out remaining ingredients and have them ready beside your blender.
  • Add liquid ingredients first (milk, yogurt), followed by soft ingredients (apple, nut butter), then dry ingredients (oats, spices), and finally ice. This sequence creates the smoothest blend with minimal strain on your blender motor.
  • Start on low speed for 15-20 seconds to break down the oats and apple, then increase to high speed for another 30-45 seconds until smooth and well combined. If your blender struggles, pause, stir, and continue blending.
  • Sample your smoothie and adjust sweetness or spice levels to your preference. Add more cinnamon for warmth, maple syrup for sweetness, or a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
  • Pour into a glass or bowl, then add optional toppings like diced fresh apple, a sprinkle of granola, a dusting of cinnamon, or a drizzle of almond butter for extra texture and visual appeal.

Notes

- For a colder smoothie, freeze your chopped apple for 20 minutes before blending.
- For a thicker, more ice-cream-like consistency, reduce milk by 1/4 cup.
- For extra creaminess, let your oats soak in the milk for 10 minutes before adding other ingredients and blending.
- For a smoothie bowl experience, reduce liquid by 1/4 cup and serve with an array of toppings.
- To make ahead, prepare smoothie packs with pre-measured ingredients (except liquid) in freezer bags for quick morning assembly.
- For best results if making ahead, consume within 8 hours and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Shake well before consuming.
