Notes
- This recipe makes one large smoothie or two kid-sized smoothies.
- To make this recipe even sweeter and more decadent try making it with my cinnamon apples, you will not be disappointed!
- To boost the protein content of this smoothie you can use Greek yogurt instead of milk.
- To boost the fibre content of this recipe you can add a spoonful of flaxseed or chia seeds to the smoothie.
- Apple: Choose a nice sweet crisp apple: Fuji, Royal Gala, Honeycrisp, Jazz, Ambrosia, Pink Lady
- Banana: For an even sweeter and creamier apple smoothie use frozen banana.
- Date: You can use either a Medjool or Delegate date. If your date is very dry and hard you might consider soaking it in warm water before adding it to your smoothie.
- Peanut butter: This can be substituted for a small handful of your favourite nuts or a different nut butter such as almond butter
- Milk: I use cow's milk when I make this smoothie but you can use your favourite non-dairy milk. Almond milk, oat milk
- Maple syrup: This can be substituted for honey, or depending on the sweetness of the banana and apple you have used may be able to be left out entirely.
