Ingredients

2 medium Arkansas Black apples cored and chopped, skin left on for color and fiber
1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
1 frozen banana banana sliced before freezing for easier blending
1 tbsp Maple syrup adjust to taste
0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon adds warmth to the tart apple flavor
0.25 tsp Ground ginger provides a subtle spicy kick
0.5 cup Ice cubes optional, for a thicker, frostier consistency

Notes

Arkansas Black apples are quite tart and firm; if you cannot find them, substitute with Granny Smith or Winesap. For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt. This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight thermos for up to 4 hours.
