Apple Berry Smoothie with Avocado
Taste
Fruity and fresh with apple sweetness, tart berries and a creamy, rounded body.
About this smoothie
This smoothie combines three everyday ingredients in a sensible way. A red apple provides natural sweetness and fibre, the frozen berry mix adds acidity, colour and vitamin C and chills the drink at the same time. The avocado is there for texture: it makes the smoothie smooth and filling, with mostly unsaturated fats. Water keeps the flavour fresh and the fruit clearly in focus. It suits breakfast or a quick snack between meals.
Bartender tips
Sweet varieties such as Gala or Pink Lady make the best base here.
A powerful blender is useful because of the apple peel; otherwise peel the apple first.
Variations
With spinach
Add a small handful of baby spinach (about 20 g) for a green boost; the berries hide the colour.
Frequently asked questions
Is it vegan?
Yes. It contains only fruit and water.
Do I need to peel the apple?
