Apple Smoothie Ingredients
Apple juice: You will want a ½ cup of apple juice to help get the smoothie to the right consistency.
Frozen yogurt: You will need ½ cup of low fat yogurt (frozen) to help thicken the smoothie and make it perfectly creamy.
Ice: Adding in 3 ice cubes will give us a little more of that icy cold consistency that we are looking for.
Cinnamon: Use ⅛ teaspoon of cinnamon for a little added warmth in flavor.
Apple: You want to use ½ of an apple that has been peeled and sliced for this smoothie. You can use any apple variety but note that it will change the flavor of the smoothie, so sweeter apples may be preferred.
How to Make Creamy Apple Smoothies

Proceed to blend the ingredients together on high speed until all of the ingredients are well mixed and smooth.
Then, pour into a drinking glass or your favorite tumbler.

A Smoothie for One
This recipe makes just one 8-10 ounce smoothie, so you may want to double the recipe. These smoothies are not very thick, so if you like a thicker consistency, add more frozen yogurt and slightly less apple juice.

How long is creamy apple smoothie good for?
Like most smoothies, I recommend only making this smoothie right before you plan on serving it. Drinking it immediately is best because that is when the textures, flavor, and temperature, are really at their ideal peak of perfection.
What apples go good in smoothies?
I recommend trying this recipe with a sweeter heartier apple such as a Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp. Feel free to also try it with any apples that you may have on hand including a tart apple like Granny Smith.
Should I peel an apple for a smoothie?
For this smoothie recipe, we do request that you peel the apple, but you can go ahead and try it without peeling if desired. What matters most is that you wash the peel well and remove the seeds and stems as we do not want to eat those. The good news is that apple peels do have added nutrition and should be finely blended throughout the smoothie and made virtually unnoticeable if you leave any of it still on.
