Apple smoothie
Instructions
Tip
The apple variety you choose impacts your smoothie's flavour significantly, allowing you to adjust the sweetness depending on how sweet or tart the apples are. For a balanced taste, Braeburn apples are an excellent choice due to their crisp texture and sweet and tart notes. Their robust flavour holds up well to blending, ensuring a pronounced apple taste in your smoothie. Cox's Orange Pippin apples have a distinct aromatic sweetness with a hint of acidity, making them ideal for adding a classic, well-rounded apple flavour. Remember, the freshness of the apples is key, so opt for the ripest, most aromatic fruits you can find to ensure your smoothie is deliciously flavourful.

Indulge in the delightful experience of a frothy, fruity apple smoothie. It perfectly marries the crispness of apples with a creamy, airy texture.

Use your favourite apples or a mix of whatever varieties you have, allowing the diverse flavours of apples to shine through.
Light and airy with regular and soured milk
Our apple smoothie has a delicate, frothy texture, and this is all thanks to regular and soured milk. Milk adds a creamy base that is both smooth and rich, while soured milk introduces a distinct tartness and a slightly thicker consistency without weighing it down. The slight tang of soured milk complements the sweet and tart flavours of the apples, enhancing the overall mouthfeel and creating a refreshingly light smoothie. You almost get a milkshake-like experience that is both sumptuous and enjoyable for kids and adults alike.
Sweetness from honey and tanginess from fresh lemon juice
Every smoothie needs something sweet, and a good dollop of honey does the trick. Honey adds a rich, floral sweetness that pairs beautifully with the crispness of the apples and the lemony tanginess. Balancing this sweetness and adding an extra layer of flavour, the fresh lemon juice lends a tangy zest that cuts through the richness of the milk and honey. The combination of sweet honey and tangy lemon juice creates a perfect blend of sweet and tangy sensations, making you want to make this over and over again.

Experiment with sweet, spicy, and tangy
The delicate apple flavour makes the perfect canvas for adding other ingredients. Go sweet with strawberry and mango, adding the fruit and berries, either fresh or frozen. The natural sweetness of strawberries complements the apple's crisp flavour, while mango introduces a tropical richness that puts an exotic twist to the smoothie. For a different type of sweetness, add a pinch of cinnamon. You never go wrong with cinnamon and apple!
Add a spicy touch with a bit of fresh ginger, or explore the tangy side of the apple smoothie by adding kiwi. Adding ginger transforms your apple smoothie with a warm, spicy kick, adding a sharp contrast to the fruit's natural sweetness. Kiwi's delicious tartness and vibrant green colour make it a refreshing addition. It enhances the apple's flavour and balances the smoothie's overall sweetness by introducing a zesty vibrancy that is both surprising and delightful.
For a nutty flavour and creamier texture, add a bit of peanut butter. Apple and peanut butter make a classic combination, and in this smoothie, the peanut butter brings a comforting and satisfying richness that perfectly complements the fresh, crisp notes of the apple.
