Apple-Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Knife
- 1 Peeler (optional)
- 1 Glass or jar for serving
Ingredients
- 1 medium apple (preferably red, cored, and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural or creamy)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of choice)
- ½ frozen banana (for added creaminess)
- 1 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (for added flavor)
- 4-5 ice cubes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional, for added fiber and nutrients)
Instructions
- Prepare the apple: Wash, core, and chop the apple into small pieces. If you prefer a smoother texture, peel the apple, but leaving the skin on adds more fiber.
- Add ingredients to blender: In the blender, combine the chopped apple, peanut butter, almond milk, frozen banana, honey or maple syrup (if using), cinnamon, and ice cubes.
- Blend: Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar. Optionally, sprinkle some chia seeds or flax seeds on top for an extra nutritional boost.
- Enjoy: Drink immediately and enjoy the creamy, nutty flavor of this healthy smoothie!
