🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, prepare the apples: Wash, core, and roughly chop the apples. No need to peel them unless you prefer a smoother texture.
- Combine ingredients: In your blender, add the chopped apples, milk, yogurt (or alternative), oats, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, apple pie spice, and the pinch of salt.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. This might take a minute or two, depending on your blender's power.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste and adjust: Give the smoothie a taste. If it needs more sweetness, add a touch more maple syrup or honey. If you want more spice, add a pinch more apple pie spice. Remember, it's all about what you enjoy!
- Add ice (optional): For an extra cold smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend until smooth. Be careful not to over-blend, or the smoothie might become too watery.
- Pour and serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a thin slice of apple on the rim.
- Enjoy immediately: The smoothie is best enjoyed right away while it's fresh and flavorful. It's the perfect way to start your day or enjoy as a midday treat. It's amazing!
