Apple Cider Smoothie

Hi, this is Kristin from Dizzy Busy and Hungry, back again as a contributor on Anyonita Nibbles. I am excited to be here to share another recipe with all of Anyonita's wonderful readers! I hope you like apples, because today I am sharing my Apple Cider Smoothie recipe.


This time of year, the apples here are just amazing, and there is nothing more refreshing than a tall glass of apple cider...except perhaps a delicious smoothie made from apple cider and fresh apples!

The kids love this smoothie, and it is a great treat for a sunny autumn afternoon, when they have been out raking leaves in the yard and they come in looking for a drink to cool them off (raking is hard work!). And I feel good serving this beverage because it provides the nutrition of an actual apple as well as protein from the Greek yogurt.

Ingredients:

For the apple cider smoothie
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup fat free vanilla Greek yogurt
3/4 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 apple, peeled and chunked; Kristin used a Granny Smith
1 1/2 cups crushed ice
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
