Sweet red apples give this smoothie its body, and a generous shot of lime makes it sharp and wide awake. Orange juice sits in between and rounds it off.

3½ oz

3½ oz

Tart and crisp, with apple sweetness, a juicy orange middle and a sharp lime finish.
This smoothie is essentially an apple drink with a citrus boost. Red apples such as Gala or Braeburn supply natural sweetness and fibre, freshly squeezed orange juice adds fruitiness, and lime brings a clear, sharp acidity. Both citrus fruits are known for their vitamin C. Because there is no banana or dairy, it stays light and very refreshing, good on a warm day or as a wake-up glass.
It is tart but balanced; use less lime if you prefer it milder.
Fresh lime tastes much better, but bottled works in a pinch.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
