Honeycrisp Apple Caramel Smoothie
This creamy, indulgent smoothie tastes like a gourmet caramel apple but is made with wholesome ingredients. The crisp sweetness of Honeycrisp apples pairs perfectly with a silky, naturally sweetened date-caramel base.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups Honeycrisp apples cored and chopped, skins left on for fiber
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any preferred dairy-free milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 4 whole Medjool dates pitted and soaked in warm water for 5 minutes
- 1 tbsp almond butter adds richness and healthy fats
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon plus extra for garnish
- 0.25 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt essential to create the salted caramel flavor
- 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt. To make this a meal replacement, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though it is best enjoyed fresh.
