Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji are great)
  • 1 frozen banana (sliced before freezing)
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1–2 tablespoons rolled oats (optional, for thickness)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toppings: sliced apple, granola, chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), hemp seeds or chia seeds, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of nut butter

Method
 

  1. Prep the apples: Core the apples. Leave the skin on for extra fiber, or peel if you prefer a smoother texture. Roughly chop.
  2. Load the blender: Add chopped apples, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, rolled oats, almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt.
  3. Blend until thick and smooth: Start on low and work up to high. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes or an extra spoon of oats.
  4. Taste and tweak: Adjust sweetness with a bit more maple syrup or a couple extra shakes of cinnamon if you want more spice.
  5. Pour and top: Transfer to a bowl and add your toppings. Aim for contrast: something crunchy (granola, nuts), something fresh (apple slices), and something creamy (nut butter drizzle).
  6. Serve right away: Smoothie bowls are best cold and thick. Grab a spoon and enjoy.
