Apple Smoothie
This is a creamy apple-and-cinnamon breakfast drink, distinct from Mixpert's spinach-led green smoothie. Keeping the apple skin adds color flecks and whole-fruit texture.

Easy swaps
- Use a tart green apple for a sharper drink; the current calculation assumes a small generic apple by edible weight.
- For a dairy-free glass, use unsweetened soy milk and plain soy yogurt, then recalculate from both labels.
Mixpert tips
- Cut the apple small enough for the blender to catch it under the ice.
- A high-speed blender gives the smoothest result; if using a basic blender, blend apple and milk first.

Apple Smoothie FAQs
Can I use a basic blender for an apple smoothie?
Yes. Chop the cored apple quite small and blend it with the milk before adding yogurt, cinnamon, and ice. This helps a lower-powered blender break down the peel and flesh. A high-speed blender will make a finer drink, but peeling is optional.
Do I need to peel the apple?
No. The skin blends into small flecks and contributes fiber; remove it only if your blender struggles.
Is this the same as a green smoothie?
No. This is a creamy apple-and-yogurt drink without spinach, cucumber, or lime.
