Fruity and tart with a deep berry flavour, mildly sweet and medium thick.
Apples and blackberries ripen at the same time of year in many regions, which is why they so often appear together in desserts. Blackberries bring strong colour, a tart flavour and fibre; the apple adds body and sweetness. Half a banana makes the texture smoother. As water is the only liquid, the smoothie stays light. It fits a late summer breakfast or an afternoon snack.
