Apple Smoothie: Ingredients & Substitutions

• Milk. use your favorite milk – whole milk, 2%, coconut milk, almond milk, etc.
• Vanilla Greek yogurt. use your favorite yogurt! I suggest full-fat for the best results.
• Apple. use your favorite apple variety. I suggest pink lady, honeycrisp or gala.
• Frozen Banana. Adding frozen banana to smoothies is the best way to sweeten and impart a smooth texture. Using frozen banana instead of ice ensures the flavor isn’t watered down.
• Vanilla extract. vanilla beans or paste work well too.
• Maple Syrup. Adds a rich fall flavor – honey is a good substitution.

How to Make an Apple Smoothie

We’ll walk through this apple smoothie recipe step-by-step, and don’t forget to watch the video.

For the best smoothies I recommend using a Vitamix blender.

Begin by adding all the ingredients in the order listed in the apple smoothie recipe to the container of a Vitamix blender (or another high-powered blender).

Add the milk first, then the rest of the ingredients, for easy blending. Then add the maple syrup on top of the frozen fruit so that it doesn’t get stuck to the bottom of the blending container.

Apple Smoothie Optional Mix-Ins

You can add some nutritional boosters to this apple smoothie, here are some suggestions.

• Greens. Adding 1 cup of spinach or mixed greens, won’t effect the taste or texture of this smoothie at all. It will change the color, so keep that in mind.
• Protein powder. Adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder or collagen protein powder are both great choices.
• Chia seeds.  for some extra protein and fiber, add 1 tablespoon chia seeds and drink the smoothie immediately. 
• Bee Pollen. I love putting this in my smoothies for flavor and nutrients.

Blend, starting on low speed and increasing to high until the mixture is smooth (30-50 seconds).

Serve

Pour into two or four glasses and serve immediately. You could add a swirl of homemade whipped cream on top for an extra special treat.

Store/Freeze

Store leftover apple smoothie in a glass jar with a lid for up to 1 day in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
