Green apples are the star of this smoothie, providing a crisp, refreshing base with a boost of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. The tartness of green apples also helps regulate blood sugar levels, making this smoothie a great option for a balanced energy boost. Cinnamon, a key ingredient in this recipe, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to help regulate blood sugar, while nutmeg and cloves add more than just flavor—they are both rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body from oxidative stress.

Plain coconut yogurt brings a creamy texture while offering probiotics, which are essential for gut health and boosting immunity.

Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile, providing a natural sweetness without any added sugar, while the ice cubes make the smoothie cool and refreshing. The optional toppings of diced apple, chia seeds, and a sprinkle of cinnamon not only add extra texture and flavor but also provide additional fiber and antioxidants.
