Deliciously Unique Apple Cinnamon Smoothie

With the addition of oats and yogurt for creaminess and staying power, this smoothie isn’t just a flavorful treat — it’s a satisfying way to fuel your day.

Perfect Apple-Cinnamon Balance

The secret to that perfect apple cinnamon smoothie is using tart-sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji and pairing them with ground cinnamon. Oats add body, while Greek yogurt supplies protein and creaminess. For an extra nutrition boost, toss in some spinach — the color will blend, but the flavor won’t overpower the star ingredients.

Assembling the Smoothie

To achieve the ideal creamy texture, layer your ingredients in the blender starting with liquid (milk or almond milk), followed by oats, yogurt, apples, and finally cinnamon and honey. This helps everything blend smoothly. If you prefer an icier texture, add a handful of ice cubes or use a frozen banana for natural sweetness.
