Ingredients

• 1 cup milk (any kind)
• 1 cup frozen mixed fruit (preferably apple‑cinnamon blend)
• 1 medium apple, cored and diced
• ½ cup ice cubes
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• Optional: ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1. Add milk, frozen fruit, diced apple, and ice cubes to a high‑speed blender.
2. 2. Sprinkle protein powder, cinnamon, and maple syrup over the liquid.
3. 3. Blend on high for 30‑45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and the ice is fully crushed.
4. 4. Pause to scrape down the sides, then blend an additional 10 seconds for even texture.
5. 5. Taste and adjust sweetness with a drizzle of extra syrup if needed.
6. 6. Pour into two tall glasses, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top, and serve immediately.

Tips for Success

• Use a ripe but firm apple to avoid excess mushiness.
• Freeze the fruit at least 4 hours beforehand for a thick, frosty texture.
• If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of milk or water to reach desired consistency.
• Blend the cinnamon with the liquid first to prevent clumping.
• Serve immediately; the ice will melt and dilute flavors after 10 minutes.

Storage

Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking. For longer storage, freeze in individual portions and thaw in the fridge overnight, then blend briefly to restore texture.

Notes

For a thicker drink, increase frozen fruit or add a frozen banana. Adjust cinnamon to taste for a spicier profile.
