Ingredients

1 medium apple (use your favorite variety), cored and chopped
⅓ cup unsweetened plain yogurt (dairy-free, vegan or Paleo, if necessary)
1 scoop unflavored protein powder (dairy-free, vegan or Paleo, if necessary)
small handful of ice cubes see notes
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional)
heaping ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla
pinch nutmeg
pinch cardamom
pinch fine sea salt

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

Notes

If you only have vanilla yogurt or vanilla protein powder, omit the vanilla extract.

If your blender can't handle blending a chopped apple, grate the apple instead. Use the large holes on a box grater or the shredding disc on a food processor.

I know "small handful of ice cubes" isn't an exact amount but it's hard to say as there are so many different kinds of ice cube trays. Just start with a few and blend it up. You can always add more if you want it thicker or colder. But if you start with too many it can become frothy and watery.
