Apple banana smoothie
Instructions
Tip
Use frozen bananas instead of fresh bananas for an extra cold and refreshing smoothie. It chills the smoothie and gives it an even thicker consistency. If you want the thicker texture and enjoy it chilled without using a frozen banana, you can blend some ice cubes with the rest of the ingredients.
Tip
If you prefer a thinner smoothie, gradually add more apple juice until you reach your desired consistency. This lets you customise the texture without diluting the flavour.

Make a smooth apple banana smoothie
Our apple banana smoothie perfectly blends the creamy texture of yogurt and milk with the natural sweetness of bananas and the refreshing zest of concentrated apple juice. The dusting of ground cinnamon on top adds a warm, aromatic touch that beautifully complements the fruitiness of the smoothie. This subtle addition introduces a comforting, slightly spicy note that makes every sip even more enjoyable. Whether you are looking for a quick breakfast option or a midday pick-me-up, this smoothie will surely become a favourite.
Thickness and sweetness from banana with yogurt and milk
The combination of bananas, milk and yogurt means you get to enjoy a luxuriously creamy texture and a rich but not overly thick smoothie. The interplay between the thickness of the yogurt, the creaminess of the banana, and the silky-smooth feeling from the milk results in a velvety-smooth texture that is immensely delicious to drink. The banana gives you a creamy, thick consistency, making the smoothie both indulgent and refreshing. It also infuses the smoothie with a natural sweetness that complements the slight tartness of the apple juice, culminating in a harmonious blend of flavours.
A fruity and slightly tart touch from apple juice
The concentrated apple juice introduces a distinctively bright and refreshing fruitiness and a slight tartness that complements the creamy sweetness of the banana. At the same time, it also has a tad of sweetness, which balances the tanginess of the yogurt well. In this apple banana smoothie recipe, we use concentrated apple juice to infuse the smoothie with a concentrated burst of apple flavour without diluting the thick, velvety texture.
Experiment with a strawberry banana apple smoothie
Strawberry and banana are a classic combination, so why not add strawberries to this apple banana smoothie? The sweet strawberries bring a burst of summer-like freshness, elevating the smoothie with a bright, juicy sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the mellow creaminess of banana and the crisp, tangy notes of apple juice. Blend until smooth, and you have a delightful treat that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate, making every sip a little celebration of fruity flavours. You can use both fresh and frozen strawberries, with frozen ones giving the smoothie a thicker and creamier texture.
