Nutrition Profile:
What Type of Apple Should I Use for the Smoothie?
You can use any variety of apples that you have on hand. Sweet and crisp apples like Fuji, Gala and Honeycrisp would work well here, but you can also use Granny Smith for its sharp, tart flavor. Read more about apple varieties and how to choose the perfect apple for recipes.
Should I Peel the Apple for the Smoothie?
There's no need to peel the apple for this recipe—simply remove the core and seeds. The whole fruit, peel and all, is nutritious and includes fiber that will help keep you satisfied. Read more about the health benefits of apples.
Can I Swap in a Different Nut Butter?
Of course! We recommend using nut butters with a "natural" label. Confirm that the ingredients are just nuts and salt (or no salt).
