- 1/2 banana (frozen)
Liquid and Dairy
- 3-4 Tbsp apple juice or cider
- 6 oz Plain Greek yogurt
Flavor and Toppings
- 1 Tbsp caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1-2 Tbsp granola
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Place the chopped Honeycrisp apple, frozen banana, apple juice or cider, plain Greek yogurt, caramel sauce, and ice cubes into a blender. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed to ensure smooth blending.
- Blend smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, with no chunks remaining, ensuring a well-incorporated texture and flavor.

Notes
- Use frozen banana to add thickness and natural sweetness without extra sugar.
- Adjust the amount of apple juice to reach your desired smoothie consistency.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup or agave instead of caramel sauce.
- Granola topping adds texture but can be omitted for a smoother drink or if avoiding gluten depending on granola type.
