Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all ingredients and measuring them accurately. This prep will ensure a seamless blending experience.

    Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped apples, frozen banana, almond milk, rolled oats, cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond butter. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a splash more almond milk gradually until desired consistency is achieved.

      Chill (Optional): For an extra refreshing experience, transfer the blended smoothie to the fridge and let it chill for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This adds an extra coolness that enhances the smoothie bowl.

        Assemble the Bowl: Pour the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl. Use a spatula to even out the surface, creating a beautiful base ready for toppings.

          Add Toppings: Arrange the sliced fresh apples artfully on top. Follow with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans, a handful of granola, and a few coconut flakes. Finish with a drizzle of honey or more maple syrup to add a touch of sweetness on top.

            Serve and Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dive into your Sweet Apple Pie Smoothie Bowl! It's perfect as a delightful breakfast or as a nutritious snack throughout the day.
