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.
