Ingredients:
2 medium-sized apples (preferably red or green, depending on your preference)
2 cups chilled milk (full-fat for creaminess, or low-fat for a lighter option)
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream (optional for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
A few ice cubes (optional)
Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts) and apple slices for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Apples:
Wash the apples thoroughly and peel them if you prefer a smoother texture. Core and chop the apples into small pieces.
Blend the Ingredients:
In a blender, add the chopped apples, chilled milk, vanilla ice cream (if using), honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add a few ice cubes and blend again.
Taste and Adjust:
Taste the milkshake and adjust the sweetness, if necessary, by adding a little more honey or maple syrup.
Serve:
Pour the apple milkshake into tall glasses. Garnish with chopped nuts and a slice of apple on the rim for an extra touch of elegance.
Tips:
For Extra Fiber: Leave the apple skins on when blending, as they add extra fiber and nutrients to the shake.
For a Vegan Option: Substitute dairy milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk, and use a non-dairy ice cream or simply omit it.
For a Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of ground nutmeg or ginger along with the cinnamon to give the milkshake a warm, spicy flavor.
This apple milkshake is a refreshing and nutritious drink that balances the natural sweetness of apples with the creaminess of milk and ice cream. Enjoy it as a healthy snack or a quick breakfast option!
