This is our successful 9th Foodie Monday Blog Hop, theme is Smoothies. Earlier I was totally confused what to choose and what to make, finally I decided to go for "Apple & Cinnamon" smoothie....

Smoothies are an awesome way to pack tons of nutrition into a delicious treat that you can anywhere...As you all know “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” so if you’re struggling to eat enough raw apples, start drinking them! As we know apple and cinnamon are made for each other and the comforting flavors.

This Apple Cinnamon Smoothie with Toasted Almonds is perfect healthy drink for breakfast, an afternoon snack or a dessert. It’s super rich in vitamins and minerals and is packed with fiber from the apple, protein from the yogurt and omega 3 fatty acid from almonds.

Apple Cinnamon smoothie is slightly thick and naturally sweetened with honey, I didn't use sugar. It's a fantastic way to start your day. This yummy smoothie blend with spicy cinnamon, vanilla yogurt, toasted almonds and sweet apples.

Delicious smoothies are a great alternative to calorie-packed desserts or as a meal substitute. This smoothie will give you energy and keep you feeling full for hours.

Ingredients :

Large apple, sliced and frozen - 1 no
Ground toasted almonds - 2 tbsp
Cinnamon - 1/4 tsp
Honey - 2tbsp
Vanilla Yogurt - 1 cup ( you can take simple yogurt also)

Important Notes

I prefer freezing the fruits rather than adding ice cubes, the smoothies are tastier and more filling this way!
To make the toasted walnuts preheat the oven to 180°C, arrange the almonds and bake it for 2 minutes (you can toast it in normal skillet also on high flame).
Don't add too much of cinnamon, otherwise it will hit your tongue, after 1 sip.

Preparation Method :

1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, pulsing as needed.
