About Apple Smoothie
I have used coconut milk in this Apple Smoothie recipe, which makes it vegan. Other choices of vegan milk that you can use are non-GMO soy milk, almond milk and cashew milk. I also prefer adding the cinnamon as it brings a nice flavor and aroma in the smoothie. It is a no-brainer that sweet apples work the best for smoothies and milkshakes and that you should use the same for this Apple Smoothie recipe too. Sour or tart apples are thus, a big no. Also, as you are using sweet apples, you can skip adding any extra sweetener in this beverage. Vendors selling apples in the market cover the fruits with wax and they usually have a lot of pesticides on them too. Hence, I opt for the organic produce. In case you can’t source organic apples, you can clean the regular apples in this way: soak apples in a vinegar-water mixture for 15 to 20 minutes, and thoroughly wash them. Add 1 part of vinegar to 3 parts of water. Love apple based desserts? Check out my recipes of Apple Pie, Apple Crumble and Apple Halwa
How to make Apple Smoothie
- Rinse 2 large organic apples and peel them. Quarter and then remove the seeds and pith. Then, chop the apples in chunks.
- Take the chopped apples in a blender jar.
- Add 1 pinch ground cinnamon powder.
- Pour ½ cup of lite coconut milk or coconut milk which has a thin or medium consistency. You can also use almond milk instead of coconut milk. If you want, you can add some sweetener like cane sugar, jaggery, palm sugar, maple syrup or coconut sugar.
- Blend till smooth.
- Pour straight away in glasses and serve Apple Smoothie immediately. Do not keep for a long time as then the smoothie turns dark due to oxidation. While serving, you can add a pinch of ground cinnamon or top with some chopped apples. Enjoy this Apple Smoothie as a healthy breakfast, light lunch or a snack.
The right choice of milk
It is best to consume fresh fruits in the way they are available in nature. But it also is a great thing to make Smoothies and Milkshakes with them. Going on the same lines, I often make this Apple Smoothie too because it is super easy, vegan and healthy too. As Ayurveda (the ancient system of Indian medicine) says that some fruits are incompatible with dairy milk and must be avoided that way, I use almond milk and coconut milk for most of my fruit-based smoothies. Consuming fruit beverages made with regular milk may cause bloating, gas and other digestion problems. So, it is best to avoid it and go for the nutritious, natural and plant-based milks for your drinks.
