Equipment

  • Vitamix Blender
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 apples, cored and roughly chopped (see notes below)
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • ½ cup plain OR vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup, to sweeten (if desired)
  • 2 teaspoons apple pie spice OR ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • Ice cubes, to thicken (if desired)

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to the canister of a blender.
  • Blend until it reaches your desired consistency and add more milk to thin out the smoothie, if needed. Taste and add more honey/maple syrup to sweeten, if desired.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • No need to peel the apples! The chopped apple chunks will blend smoothly and there will be no gritty texture. 
  • Any kind of apple can be used for this smoothie. I prefer a sweeter kind, such as honey crisp, but if you have more tart/less sweet apples, you can add more honey/maple syrup  to sweeten.
  • I find that apple pie spice gives this smoothie a better apple pie flavor than ground cinnamon, though both are just as delicious. If you are out of apple pie spice, you can make your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cardamom.
