Notes
- The liquid base of this recipe is milk. It gives the smoothie a creamy and thick consistency. You can use any type of milk you prefer, including plant-based options like almond milk or oat milk.
- Always chop the apple before adding it to a blender. Never put in a whole apple.
- Feel free to omit the cinnamon if you don’t like the taste.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a bit of milk. Then, blend for about 10 seconds.
- Leftover smoothies should be stored in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator. The drink will last 1-2 days, but it will taste best within 24 hours of blending.
