Ready in under 5 minutes, it feels indulgent yet healthy.

Ingredients

(Serves 1-2)

• 1 large ripe banana (preferably frozen for extra creaminess)

• 1 medium apple (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji; cored and chopped, peel on for fiber)

1 cup milk (dairy, almond, oat, or any preferred)

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt (for protein and thickness)

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter, handful of oats, chia seeds, or a scoop of protein powder

Direction

• Add the chopped apple, banana, milk, yogurt, and cinnamon to a high-speed blender.
• Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. If too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add ice or extra frozen banana.
• Pour into a bowl. Top with sliced banana, diced apple, a sprinkle of cinnamon, granola, nuts, or seeds for crunch and extra texture.
• Serve immediately and enjoy with a spoon for a filling breakfast experience.
