About this smoothie
This smoothie combines two kinds of fruit that are always easy to find: apples all year and berries fresh or frozen. The apple brings juice, fibre and a mild sweetness, the berries colour and tartness.
Using water with just a little yogurt keeps the smoothie light, while the frozen berries make it cold and thick. The old recipe used pears; they work just as well and make it a little sweeter.
Bartender tips
A sweet apple variety such as Gala or Pink Lady balances the tart berries.
Use milk instead of water for a creamier, richer smoothie.
Variations
With pear
Swap the apple for a ripe pear for a softer, sweeter taste.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to peel the apple?
No, just wash it well. The peel adds fibre and blends finely.
Can I use only fresh berries?
Yes, but add a few ice cubes to keep it cold and thick.
