There is nothing quite like starting your day with the cozy flavors of apple and cinnamon. I love making this smoothie because it tastes like a dessert but is actually packed with good ingredients to keep your energy up until lunch.

My biggest tip is to use a frozen banana if you can. It makes the texture so much creamier and thicker, almost like a real milkshake. If you do not have frozen bananas on hand, just add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.

🧺 Ingredients

1 medium apple, cored and chopped
1 ripe banana, preferably frozen
1 tablespoon almond butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place the chopped apple, banana, almond butter, cinnamon, protein powder, almond milk, and vanilla extract into your blender.
2
Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed for about one minute until the mixture is completely smooth.
3
Check the consistency and add a splash more almond milk if you prefer a thinner drink.
4
Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy immediately while it is cold.

💡 Tips

If you want an extra crunch, sprinkle a few chopped walnuts or a pinch of granola on top. You can store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day, but give it a good shake before drinking it.
