McIntosh Apple Cinnamon Smoothie

Alex Carter

This creamy, refreshing smoothie captures the essence of a crisp autumn morning using sweet-tart McIntosh apples and warm cinnamon. It is a fiber-rich, naturally sweetened breakfast or snack that tastes like a healthy liquid apple pie.

Ingredients

2 medium McIntosh apples cored and chopped, skins left on for fiber
1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
0.5 cup rolled oats provides a thick, cookie-like texture
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any preferred dairy alternative
1 tsp ground cinnamon plus extra for garnish
1 tbsp maple syrup optional, adjust based on apple sweetness
0.5 tsp vanilla extract enhances the aromatic profile
1 cup ice cubes for a chilled, frothy consistency

Notes

For a colder smoothie without using ice, chop the McIntosh apples the night before and freeze them in a single layer. You can substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a vegan-friendly version. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural; shake well before drinking.
