Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy (plant-based) yogurt (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
Fruit and Spice
- 2 fresh apples (Fuji or Granny Smith), washed, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural), plus extra for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds), lightly toasted
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash, core, and dice the fresh apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss them gently with a splash (about 1 teaspoon) of lemon juice to maintain color and add a subtle zesty brightness.
- Season the Apples: Sprinkle cinnamon (natural) over the apple pieces along with a drizzle (about 1 tablespoon) of maple syrup (natural). Toss the mixture to coat the apples evenly, allowing the warm spice and sweetness to combine beautifully.
- Combine Yogurt Base: In a bowl, scoop creamy (plant-based) yogurt (natural), then stir in vanilla extract (natural) and ground flaxseed for an added nutritional boost and subtle flavor enhancement.
- Assemble the Bowl: Layer the cinnamon-spiced apples over the yogurt, then sprinkle chopped nuts on top for crunch and a satisfying texture contrast.
- Final Touches: Drizzle with a little extra maple syrup (natural) if desired or a pinch more cinnamon for extra warming flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the freshness and comfort in every bite.
Notes
- Choose crisp apples like Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp to prevent mushiness and keep the bowl refreshing.
- Adjust sweetness by adding maple syrup sparingly to keep sugar levels balanced.
- Chill the yogurt beforehand to enhance creaminess and make the bowl more refreshing.
- Lightly toast the nuts before adding to intensify flavor and add warm aroma.
- Prepare apples in advance by tossing with lemon juice to keep them fresh and vibrant for hours without browning.
