Ingredients
  

1 large, ripe apple, cored and chopped (e.g., Granny Smith or Fuji for a tart flavor)

1 ripe banana, frozen for creaminess

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice, such as dairy, oat, or soy)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain for a tangy taste or vanilla for added sweetness)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust based on your desired sweetness level)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (adds warmth)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for depth of flavor)

1/2 cup rolled oats (optional, but great for added thickness and fiber)

Ice cubes (about 1/2 cup, optional if you prefer a chilled smoothie)

Thinly sliced apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

In a high-powered blender, combine the chopped apple, frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup. This combination will create a creamy and nutritious base.

    Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the blender. If you're including oats for extra thickness, add them at this stage.

      For a colder and refreshing smoothie, throw in a handful of ice cubes to the mix.

        Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

          Once blended, taste the smoothie. Adjust the level of sweetness or spices if desired by adding additional maple syrup or a pinch more cinnamon.

            Carefully pour the smoothie into tall glasses. For presentation, garnish with thin slices of fresh apple and a light dusting of cinnamon on top.

              Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, and enjoy your scrumptious Apple Pie Smoothie!
