Fall Apple-Cinnamon Smoothies

• About a cup of yogurt
• About a cup of apple cider
• 5 raw almonds
• 5 bite-size chunks of green apple
• 5 bite-size chunks of red delicious apple
• 3 bite-size chunks of cucumber
• 2 heaping tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp Stevia, optional
• 1/3 cup liquid apple cider

Preparation:

1. Dollop some yogurt into 5 wells of a standard-size ice cube tray. Pour the apple cider into 5 more wells of the same tray. Freeze. In the morning, right before blending, put the cubes into a bowl.
2. Put the yogurt cubes, cider cubes, almonds, red apple chunks, green apple chunks, cucumber chunks, cinnamon, Stevia (if using), and liquid apple cider into your Ninja Storm.* Put the lid and power pod on and give it a few quick pulses. Then, hold the button down and blend for at least 60 seconds, or until the desired consistency is reached.

*If using a regular blender, use the ice crush setting for a few seconds and then blend for 60–90 seconds, or until the desired consistency is reached.
