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
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and chop the apple into small pieces. If using freeze-dried blueberries straight from the bag, no prep is needed.
- Blend:
- Add the apple, freeze-dried blueberries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), cinnamon, and ice cubes to a blender.
- 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.
- 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.
