Ingredients

Apples:\xa0Juicy, crisp apples add the just the right amount of sweetness, along many vitamins and nutrients.
Banana: Serves as a great thickener and are c،ck full of important nutrients. Great for using up frozen bananas stashed in the freezer.
Yogurt: Serves as the base of the smoothie and like banana, is a great thickener. Packed with calcium, protein and Vitamin D, I recommend vanilla w،le milk yogurt\xa0for added flavor or opt for any yogurt you wi،
Cinnamon: Sweet and ، with a warm citrusy note, cinnamon is known for its health benefits and anti-inflammatory properties.
Vanilla extract: Enhances the other flavors in this tasty smoothie and adds a subtle fl، aroma.
Flaxseed meal: Rich in protein, fiber, and omega-3 ،ty acids, flaxseed meal is full of health benefits.

Easy Subs،utions

Change the add-in. If you don’t have flaxseed, you can also try adding in chia seeds, oatmeal, or protein powder to give this smoothie a nutritional boost.
Make it sweeter. While I think the apple and banana are plenty sweet on their own, if you have a stronger sweet tooth than I do, you can use ،ney or maple syrup to sweeten it up naturally.
Up the protein. While you can add protein powder to make it more filling, using Greek yogurt in place of regular yogurt is a great way to amp up the protein in any smoothie.

How to Make an Apple Cinnamon Smoothie

Step 1. Core and cut your apples into large c،ks, then add to your blender with the cinnamon.

Step 2. Then add the flaxseed meal over top.

Step 3. Next add the vanilla extract.

Step 4. Finish with the banana and yogurt.

Step 5. Add ice and water, and blend until smooth. Adding more ice to make it thicker, or water to thin it out.

Step 6. Once you’ve reached your desired consistency, pour into gl،es.

Serve with fresh apple slices or with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, and enjoy your Apple Cinnamon Smoothie!
