Description

Add apples and freeze-dried blueberries to your blender for a refreshing smoothie that tastes like a treat. Blueberries are high in vitamin C, while apples offer natural sweetness and fiber. Great for a pre-workout snack or mid-afternoon pick-me-up.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium apple (any sweet variety like Honeycrisp, peeled and cored if desired)
  • 2 tbsp freeze-dried blueberries
  • 1 small banana (ripe for creaminess and natural sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or a non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 tsp honey (optional; adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for added warmth)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional for a colder smoothie)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Wash and chop the apple into small pieces. If using freeze-dried blueberries straight from the bag, no prep is needed.
  2. Blend:
    • Add the apple, freeze-dried blueberries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), cinnamon, and ice cubes to a blender.
  3. Blend Until Smooth:
    • Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure all the ingredients are fully blended.
  4. Serve:
    • Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few freeze-dried blueberries on top if desired.

Notes

  • Add more of your preferred milk for a thinner smoothie or more yogurt for a thicker texture.
  • Add a handful of spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra nutrients.
  • Leave the skin on the apple for added fiber, especially if using organic apples.
