Mild, fruity and creamy with fresh apple, soft banana and raisin-like sweetness.
About this smoothie
A crisp red apple brings juice and a light acidity, while sultanas add rounded sweetness. The banana binds the mixture and makes it creamy, and yogurt and milk supply protein.
Because apples are available all year, this is a reliable everyday smoothie, particularly in autumn and winter when berries are out of season. A pinch of cinnamon brings it even closer to the taste of apple strudel.
Bartender tips
Sweet red varieties like Gala or Braeburn suit this smoothie best.
Leave the peel on for more fibre; a strong blender makes it smooth.
Variations
Apple strudel
Add a pinch of cinnamon and 1 tbsp rolled oats.
