Apple-Cinnamon Protein Smoothie

When Chobani’s new apple-cinnamon yogurt came out a while back, I thought it would be tasty in a smoothie.  This is a fun diversion from my typical go-to smoothie flavors, and I have a favorite way to turn it into a smoothie that really reminds me of fall:  When I make baked apples, I blend a leftover half along with some of the juices into the smoothie.  Sort of like a cool, creamy version of apple crisp!

I’m thinking I’ll add a tablespoon or two of almond or peanut butter for the next round!

Apple-Cinnamon Protein Smoothie

If you happen to make baked apples, consider adding a leftover half along with some of the juices to really make the apple flavor shine. Almond or peanut butter would be an equally tasty addition!

  • 3/4 -1 cup almond milk, depending on how thick you like your smoothie (or milk of choice)
  • 1 container Chobani apple-cinnamon yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 1 ver ripe, frozen banana
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (or to taste)
  • about 8 ice cubes
  • whipped cream, optional

  1. Combine all ingredients except whipped cream in a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour into two glasses–or one big one–and garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
