Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Apple (medium, sweet variety such as Fuji or Gala)
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond or oat milk)
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash and core the apple, then dice it into small chunks for easier blending. There's no need to peel the apple unless you prefer a smoother texture.
In a blender, combine the diced apple, milk, vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt (if using), honey or maple syrup (if desired), ground cinnamon, and ice cubes.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-45 seconds depending on your blender.
Taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed. Blend again briefly if additional sweetener is added.
Pour the milkshake into a tall glass, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, and serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
