Apple-Cinnamon Breakfast Smoothie

I've been drinking this smoothie for breakfasts this week and I have really enjoyed it. For my lactose-intolerant sisters: you can substitute the milk for almond milk. There's not a great non-dairy substitute for Greek Yogurt, but hopefully it wouldn't be too much dairy.

1 red apple
1 banana
3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender. (Depending on how powerful your blender is, you may need to chop the apple and almonds into small pieces before blending.)
  2. Blend on medium-high for 30 seconds (or until desired consistency).
