Apple Banana Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients (2 servings):

  • 1 medium apple, cored and chopped (skin on for extra fiber)

  • 1 ripe banana, sliced

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy)

  • ½ cup plain or vanilla yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 4–5 ice cubes

Topping & Garnish:

  • Pinch of cinnamon powder

  • Apple and banana slices for decoration

Instructions:

  1. Prepare fruits: Wash the apple thoroughly, core it, and cut into chunks. Slice the banana.

  2. Blend: In a blender, combine apple chunks, banana slices, milk, yogurt, honey (if using), cinnamon, and ice cubes.

  3. Blend until smooth: Process on high speed until creamy and lump-free.

  4. Taste & adjust: If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey or syrup. For a thicker texture, add extra banana or yogurt.

  5. Serve: Pour into a glass, sprinkle cinnamon on top, and garnish with apple and banana slices.

  6. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.

Q&A Section

Q1: Can I make this smoothie without yogurt?
Yes! You can replace yogurt with extra milk or a splash of coconut milk for creaminess.

Q2: What type of apple works best?
Sweet varieties like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp blend well, but tart apples like Granny Smith give a refreshing tang.

Q3: Can I make it vegan?
Absolutely! Use almond, soy, or oat milk and dairy-free yogurt. Replace honey with maple syrup or skip sweetener entirely.

Q4: How can I make it more filling?
Add 2 tablespoons of rolled oats or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter for extra fiber and protein.

Q5: Is it okay to prepare in advance?
It’s best fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 8 hours in a sealed container. Stir before drinking, as separation may occur.

Q6: Can I freeze it?
Yes. Pour into ice cube trays, freeze, and blend when needed for a quick smoothie.
