Taste
Crisp and tangy, with green apple freshness, juicy kiwi and a fruity tea note.
About this smoothie
Green apples, such as Granny Smith, are firm and tart and give smoothies a crisp freshness. Kiwi adds juicy acidity and is known for its high vitamin C content. Blended whole, the apple keeps its fibre, which gives the drink some body even without banana or yogurt. Cooled fruit tea replaces juice and brings aroma without added sugar. It is a light smoothie for people who prefer fresh over sweet.
Bartender tips
A powerful blender makes the apple peel disappear; otherwise, peel the apple.
For more sweetness, swap the green apple for a sweet red variety.
Variations
With spinach
Add 20 g baby spinach for a greener colour without changing the flavour much.
