Using natural ingredients, it’s an indulgence you can feel good about while enjoying the comforting taste of apples and caramel in a refreshing float.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of high-quality apple cider (preferably homemade for the best flavor)
  • 1/4 cup of natural caramel syrup (look for low-sugar or homemade options)
  • 1 cup of Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt for creaminess
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh apple slices for garnish
  • Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon for flavor enhancement
  • Optional: a splash of vanilla extract for added aroma

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, gently warm the apple cider over medium heat until it reaches a comfortable drinking temperature. Stir in the natural caramel syrup and vanilla extract, blending well.
  2. Allow the cider to cool, then transfer it to your Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to rapidly chill the mixture.
  3. Fill a tall glass halfway with ice cubes, then pour the chilled apple cider over the ice.
  4. Add a generous dollop of Greek yogurt or your preferred creamy alternative on top.
  5. Garnish with fresh apple slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of caramel syrup.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or long spoon and enjoy this nutritious, flavorful float.

Notes

  • Store any leftover cider in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the yogurt and garnish just before serving to maintain the optimal texture.
  • You can prepare the cider base in advance for quick assembly when ready to serve.
  • Consider adding a dusting of nutmeg or a splash of whipped coconut cream for extra flavor variation.
