Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 apple cored with peel left on
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- ½ frozen banana
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup optional
- ½ cup coconut milk from the cartoon
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- A pinch ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a blender, add all the ingredients listed below and puree for about 30 seconds.
- Taste to adjust flavor and serve immediately.
Notes
- Using a frozen banana leads to a creamier smoothie.
- Fresh or frozen cranberry is fine for the recipe but frozen cranberries will give you a thicker smoothie. There's no need to thaw the frozen cranberries before adding them to the blender.
- You can swap the coconut milk for any other milk of your choice.
- To store: You can store the smoothie for an extra day in the fridge but you'll have to give it a mix as the smoothie may separate in the fridge.
- To freeze: Freeze the smoothie in an airtight container with some space on top as the smoothie will expand.
