Apple Smoothie Ingredients
Apples – You can use any apple of your choice but make sure to check if its not wax coated. But it is always good to peel the skin of apples to be on the safer side. Make sure to choose sweet apples and less acidic. Oats – I have used rolled oats, you can use regular quick oats too. You can toast and add oats too. Milk – I have used cow’s milk boiled, cooled and then chilled. Alternatively you can use packaged milk too. Alternatively add almond or oats milk for vegan option. Honey – To avoid sugar I have used honey and it adds a great flavor when combined with apples. Curd – Add curd for taste and to give a texture to the smoothie Flavor – I have used cinnamon powder and vanilla essence as both goes great with apples.
